S280212-058 - Hobart Fabcor 1100 .045 Metal-Cored Wire 1000lb Drum

High-Performance Metal-Cored Wire for Critical Structures

The Hobart Fabcor 1100 is a premium metal-cored welding wire engineered specifically for high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steel applications. With a tensile strength rating of 110,000 psi, this consumable is the ideal choice for fabricating critical components using materials such as ASTM A514, HY-100, and T1 steels. The wire is formulated to deliver exceptional mechanical properties, ensuring structural integrity even under demanding load conditions. Its metal-cored design combines the high deposition rates of flux-cored wires with the high efficiency and slag-free characteristics of solid wires, making it a versatile solution for heavy industrial manufacturing.

One of the standout technical features of the Fabcor 1100 is its ability to maintain excellent impact toughness at low temperatures, a critical requirement for heavy equipment, shipbuilding, and offshore applications. The wire's chemical composition is balanced to provide superior crack resistance, which is essential when welding quenched and tempered steels. This product is designed for both single and multi-pass welding operations, providing flexibility across various joint configurations and plate thicknesses. The 0.045-inch diameter offers a balance of deposition capability and puddle control, suitable for a wide range of amperage settings.

Supplied in a 1000 lb Rx-Pk (Exacto-Pak), this product is tailored for high-volume production environments, such as robotic cells or continuous hard automation setups. The bulk packaging significantly reduces the frequency of changeovers compared to standard spools, thereby maximizing arc-on time and overall throughput. Additionally, the wire is engineered to generate low smoke and fume levels, contributing to a cleaner working environment and aiding in compliance with safety regulations regarding welding fumes.
