OVERVIEW

Hobart Fabco TR-70 5/64" Flux-Cored Wire (50lb Spool)

The Hobart Fabco TR-70 is a premier choice for industrial welding applications requiring high deposition rates and deep penetration. This 5/64-inch diameter flux-cored wire is packaged in a substantial 50lb spool, designed to minimize downtime for changeovers in high-volume production environments. Engineered by Hobart, a trusted name in welding consumables, the Fabco TR-70 meets the rigorous demands of heavy fabrication, structural steelwork, and equipment manufacturing.

Classified under AWS E70T-1C and E70T-9C, this wire is specifically formulated for use with 100% CO2 shielding gas. This combination provides a cost-effective solution for welding carbon steel while maintaining excellent arc stability and mechanical properties. The wire is designed for flat and horizontal positioning, making it ideal for fillet and groove welds on heavy plate where speed and penetration are critical. The tubular design ensures a consistent flux fill, resulting in reliable performance and sound welds across the entire spool.

One of the standout features of the Fabco TR-70 is its ability to handle mill scale and light rust, common in industrial settings, without compromising weld integrity. The slag system is formulated for easy detachment, often peeling off by itself or with minimal chipping, which significantly reduces post-weld cleaning time. For workshops and manufacturing plants looking to optimize their welding processes, the Hobart Fabco TR-70 offers a balance of speed, quality, and ease of use.

Key Benefits for Industry:

  • High Efficiency: High deposition rates allow for faster travel speeds and increased throughput.
  • Cost-Effective Shielding: Optimized for 100% CO2, reducing gas costs compared to argon mixes.
  • Heavy Duty: 5/64" diameter is perfectly suited for thick materials and multi-pass welding.
  • Reliable Packaging: The 50lb spool fits standard industrial wire feeders, ensuring long run times.
