S290019-053 - Hobart Fabco Xtreme 120 1/16-inch Flux-Cored Wire 33lb Spool

High-Performance Wire for Critical Structural Applications

The Hobart Fabco Xtreme 120 is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire engineered specifically for the welding of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) and quenched and tempered (Q&T) steels. With a diameter of 1/16 inch, this wire is formulated to deliver weld deposits with tensile strengths exceeding 120,000 psi, making it an essential consumable for industries requiring maximum structural integrity. It is particularly well-suited for matching the mechanical properties of steels such as ASTM A514, A710, and EQ56, often found in heavy equipment manufacturing and offshore infrastructure.

Designed for versatility and efficiency, the Fabco Xtreme 120 operates using 100% CO2 shielding gas. This not only reduces operational costs compared to mixed gases but also provides deep penetration and reliable fusion. The wire features a fast-freezing slag system that supports all-position welding, including vertical-up and overhead, which is critical for complex assemblies where rotating the workpiece is not feasible. The slag is designed to be easily removable, reducing post-weld cleanup time and improving overall productivity in industrial environments.

This product is supplied in a 33-pound spool and utilizes Hobart's Vacuum Packed Spool (VPSP) technology. This packaging method is crucial for high-strength wires as it hermetically seals the product to prevent moisture absorption, ensuring low diffusible hydrogen levels in the weld metal. Low hydrogen content is vital for preventing cracking in high-strength steels, particularly in the heat-affected zone. The Fabco Xtreme 120 delivers consistent arc stability, low spatter levels, and excellent bead contour, meeting the rigorous demands of offshore jack-up rigs, crane fabrication, and heavy structural components.
