S247029-069 - Hobart Fabco TR-70 3/32" Flux-Cored Wire, 800 lb Reel, E70T-1

High-Performance Flux-Cored Wire for Heavy Fabrication

The Hobart Fabco TR-70 is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial welding. Engineered with a 3/32-inch diameter, this wire is specifically formulated for high-deposition applications where efficiency and weld integrity are paramount. It conforms to AWS E70T-1C and E70T-9C classifications, making it a staple for structural steel, heavy equipment manufacturing, and shipbuilding sectors. The wire operates using 100% CO2 shielding gas, which provides deep penetration and robust fusion, essential for welding thick plates and heavy-walled components.

One of the defining characteristics of the Fabco TR-70 is its exceptional arc stability. The tubular wire design ensures a smooth transfer of molten metal, significantly reducing spatter and minimizing post-weld cleanup. This specific SKU is supplied in an 800 lb reel, a packaging format optimized for automated systems or high-volume manual stations where downtime for spool changes must be minimized. The large payload supports continuous operation in large-scale fabrication environments, directly contributing to improved throughput and operational efficiency.

Metallurgically, the Fabco TR-70 excels in joining mild and some low-alloy steels. It is strictly designed for flat and horizontal welding positions, leveraging gravity to manage the fluid weld pool typical of high-current flux-cored processes. The slag system is formulated to freeze quickly and detach easily, often peeling off by itself or with minimal chipping. This feature, combined with low fume generation compared to conventional wires in its class, enhances operator appeal and safety. Whether used for single-pass or multi-pass welds, the Fabco TR-70 delivers consistent mechanical properties and X-ray quality welds.
