Hobart Fabcor 1100 .052" Metal-Cored Welding Wire

The Hobart Fabcor 1100 is a premium metal-cored welding wire designed specifically for high-strength fabrication requirements. Packaged in a 33-pound spool with a 0.052-inch diameter, this wire is engineered to join high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels where weld integrity and mechanical properties are paramount. It meets AWS E110C-K4 classifications, ensuring it delivers a minimum tensile strength of 110,000 psi, making it the go-to choice for heavy industrial projects requiring superior load-bearing capabilities.

One of the standout features of the Fabcor 1100 is its excellent impact toughness, even at low temperatures. This makes it particularly suitable for equipment and structures that operate in harsh, cold environments. The metal-cored construction allows for higher deposition rates compared to solid wires, significantly improving travel speeds and overall productivity. Additionally, the formulation minimizes slag generation, which reduces the time and labor required for post-weld cleaning, especially in multi-pass applications.

This wire operates best with Argon/CO2 shielding gas mixtures (typically 75-95% Argon), providing a smooth, stable arc with minimal spatter. Whether you are fabricating crane booms, earthmoving equipment, or structural components using T-1 or similar quenched and tempered steels, the Hobart Fabcor 1100 provides the reliability and performance professional welders demand.
