The Hobart Fabco Triple 7 is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication. This specific SKU (S246312-050) is supplied in a 500 lb Exacto Pak (X-Pak), a bulk packaging solution engineered to maximize arc-on time by reducing the frequency of wire changeovers in high-volume production environments. It is an ideal choice for procurement managers and facility operators looking to streamline consumables inventory for structural steel, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment manufacturing sectors.
Technically, the Fabco Triple 7 conforms to AWS E71T-1C H8 and E71T-1M H8 classifications. It is formulated to provide consistent mechanical properties and excellent weldability across a variety of applications. The wire is capable of operating with either 100% CO2 or a 75% Argon / 25% CO2 shielding gas blend, offering flexibility depending on the available gas supply and desired arc characteristics. The 0.045-inch diameter is a standard size for medium-to-heavy plate fabrication, balancing deposition rates with control.
One of the primary advantages of this product is its robust mechanical profile. It delivers high impact toughness even at low temperatures, making it suitable for critical applications where weld integrity is paramount. The wire is designed for single and multiple pass applications on carbon and higher strength steels. The bulk X-Pak design not only improves efficiency but also protects the wire from environmental contaminants when stored correctly, ensuring consistent feedability and weld quality from the start of the drum to the finish.
By integrating the Hobart Fabco Triple 7 into your supply chain, you are selecting a consumable that balances cost-efficiency with high-performance output. Its wide operating window and forgiveness in terms of parameter settings make it a reliable standard for diverse welding teams, reducing the need for multiple specialized wires for general fabrication tasks.
