OVERVIEW

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 fabrication. Engineered with a 5/64-inch diameter and supplied in a substantial 60lb coil, this wire is optimized for high-volume welding operations where efficiency and weld integrity are paramount. It conforms to AWS E70T-1C and E70T-9C classifications, making it an industry standard for welding mild and some low-alloy steels using 100% CO2 shielding gas.

One of the standout features of the Fabco TR-70 is its ability to deliver high deposition rates alongside deep penetration. This combination is critical for industries such as shipbuilding, heavy equipment manufacturing, and structural steel erection, where thick materials require robust fusion. The wire is formulated for use in flat and horizontal positions, allowing for the creation of smooth, consistent beads with excellent mechanical properties. Its tubular design ensures a steady arc transfer, minimizing the risk of defects in critical structural components.

Operational efficiency is further enhanced by the wire's excellent operator appeal. The Fabco TR-70 is known for its low fume generation and minimal spatter, which creates a cleaner working environment and improves visibility for the welder. Additionally, the slag system is designed for easy removal, often peeling off with minimal effort. This reduces downtime associated with inter-pass cleaning and post-weld finishing, allowing fabrication teams to maintain high throughput. Whether used for single-pass fillets or multi-pass heavy plate welding, the Hobart Fabco TR-70 provides the reliability and performance professional fabricators trust.

FAQ

This wire is designed to be used with 100% CO2 shielding gas.

The Hobart Fabco TR-70 meets AWS A5.20 classifications E70T-1C and E70T-9C.

This wire is designed for welding in the Flat and Horizontal positions only.

This product is a 5/64 inch (approx. 2.0 mm) diameter wire.

It comes in a 60 lb coil. You may need a coil adapter for your wire feeder if it is set up for spools.

Yes, flux-cored wires like the TR-70 generally handle moderate rust and mill scale better than solid MIG wires due to the deoxidizers in the flux.

This wire operates on Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), also known as Reverse Polarity.

It is widely used for heavy equipment, structural steel, shipbuilding, and railcar fabrication due to its high deposition rates.
