Hobart Fabco Triple 7 .052" Flux-Cored Wire (50lb Spool)

The Hobart Fabco Triple 7 is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication. This .052-inch diameter wire is formulated for joining carbon and higher strength steels in both single and multiple pass applications. It carries the AWS classification of E71T-1C and E71T-1M, indicating its suitability for use with either 100% CO2 or a 75% Argon / 25% CO2 shielding gas blend. This dual-gas capability allows fabrication shops to optimize their process based on gas availability and specific arc characteristic requirements.

One of the defining characteristics of the Fabco Triple 7 is its fast-freezing slag system. This feature significantly enhances puddle control, making it an excellent choice for all-position welding, including difficult vertical-up and overhead joints. The wire produces a flat bead profile with distinct ripple patterns and excellent tie-in, reducing the likelihood of defects such as lack of fusion or undercut. Furthermore, the slag is designed to be easily removable, often peeling off by itself, which minimizes inter-pass cleaning time and improves overall productivity.

Ideally suited for industries such as shipbuilding, railcar manufacturing, and structural steel erection, this wire delivers consistent mechanical properties, including good impact toughness at lower temperatures. The 50lb spool packaging ensures longer run times between changeovers, maximizing arc-on time in high-volume production environments. Whether used in the shop or on the job site, the Hobart Fabco Triple 7 provides the reliability and performance professional welders expect from the Hobart brand.
