S290315-032 - Hobart Fabco Xtreme 85 .052 Flux-Cored Wire 10lb Spool

High-Performance Pipeline Welding Wire

The Hobart Fabco Xtreme 85 is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire engineered to meet the demanding requirements of the heavy industrial sector. Specifically designed for welding X80 Grade transmission pipelines, this wire provides the mechanical integrity and consistency required for critical infrastructure projects. Industrial professionals rely on the Fabco Xtreme 85 for its ability to deliver high-strength welds in challenging environments, including offshore platforms and large-scale structural steel applications.

This .052-inch diameter wire is formulated for all-position welding, making it an essential consumable for field operations where out-of-position welds are frequently necessary. It operates exclusively with 100% CO2 shielding gas, which not only reduces gas costs but also ensures deep penetration and robust fusion profiles essential for heavy-wall pipe and plate. The wire is capable of both single and multiple pass applications, offering versatility across different stages of fabrication and repair.

Packaged in a 10lb spool, often within a protective bucket to maintain low hydrogen levels and prevent moisture pickup, this product ensures that the filler metal remains in optimal condition until the moment of use. For Josef Gas customers managing large-scale energy or construction projects, the reliability of Hobart's formulation means fewer defects, reduced rework, and adherence to strict engineering specifications. Whether used for longitudinal pipe seams or complex offshore structural nodes, the Fabco Xtreme 85 delivers the performance professional welders and inspectors demand.
