OVERVIEW

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.

FAQ

Hobart Fabcor 1100 is classified as E110C-K4 per AWS A5.28 standards.

It is designed for use with Argon/CO2 mixtures, typically ranging from 75% Argon / 25% CO2 to 90% Argon / 10% CO2.

This is a metal-cored wire. It contains a metallic powder core rather than a flux core, offering higher deposition efficiency and less slag.

This wire is primarily designed for flat and horizontal welding positions.

The wire produces a weld deposit with a minimum tensile strength of approximately 110,000 psi (110 ksi).

Metal-cored wires produce very little slag compared to flux-cored wires. While some minor silicon islands may form, there is no heavy slag covering to chip off.

It is suitable for welding high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels, quenched and tempered steels (like T-1), and other materials requiring 100-110 ksi tensile strength.

This specific product (SKU S280215-029) is 0.052 inches in diameter.
