OVERVIEW

Premium All-Position Flux-Cored Wire for Industrial Fabrication

The Hobart Fabco Triple 7 .045" welding wire is a top-tier choice for industrial professionals requiring versatility and reliability in structural steel fabrication. This gas-shielded flux-cored wire is engineered to deliver exceptional performance across a wide range of applications, from shipbuilding to heavy equipment repair. Its formulation allows for single and multiple pass welding on carbon and higher strength steels, ensuring structural integrity in demanding environments.

One of the standout characteristics of the Fabco Triple 7 is its fast-freezing slag system. This feature is critical for operators working out of position, as it supports the weld puddle effectively in vertical-up and overhead orientations. This capability reduces the difficulty of complex welds and helps maintain high productivity rates on the shop floor or job site. Additionally, the wire is designed to operate smoothly with either 100% CO2 or a 75% Argon / 25% CO2 gas mixture, providing flexibility depending on the available gas supply and desired arc characteristics.

At Josef Gas, we understand that weld quality and operator comfort go hand in hand. The Fabco Triple 7 excels in both areas by producing low fume levels and minimal spatter, which simplifies post-weld cleanup and improves the working environment. The slag is self-peeling in many instances or easily removed with light chipping, further reducing downtime between passes. With consistent mechanical properties, including excellent impact toughness at low temperatures, this 33lb spool is a dependable solution for rigorous industrial projects.

Key Industrial Benefits

  • Versatile Shielding: Compatible with straight CO2 for economy or Argon blends for smoother arc action.
  • All-Position Capability: Fast-freezing slag supports difficult vertical and overhead welds.
  • High Impact Strength: Meets Charpy V-Notch requirements for critical structural applications.
