S280219-058 - Hobart Fabcor 1100 1/16 Metal Core Wire 1000lb Drum

High-Performance Metal-Cored Wire for High-Strength Steels

The Hobart Fabcor 1100 is a premium metal-cored welding wire engineered specifically for the fabrication of high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steels. With a diameter of 1/16 inch and supplied in a substantial 1000 lb Rx-Pk (Exacto-Pak), this product is tailored for high-volume industrial manufacturing environments where efficiency and mechanical integrity are paramount. The wire meets AWS E110C-K4 classifications, delivering a minimum tensile strength of 110,000 psi, making it the ideal choice for welding critical structural components that must withstand immense loads and stress.

Designed to weld steels such as ASTM A514, HY-100, and T1, the Fabcor 1100 provides exceptional mechanical properties, including impressive impact toughness at temperatures as low as -60°F (-51°C). This ensures the integrity of welds in harsh operating environments often found in heavy equipment, shipbuilding, and offshore industries. Unlike standard flux-cored wires, this metal-cored variant offers higher deposition efficiencies and faster travel speeds, allowing fabricators to increase throughput without sacrificing weld quality. The formulation is also optimized to produce low smoke and fume levels, contributing to a cleaner and safer workshop environment for operators.

The 1000 lb bulk packaging is specifically intended to minimize downtime associated with spool changes, making it an excellent solution for robotic cells or continuous hard automation setups. The wire feeds smoothly and consistently, reducing wear on liners and contact tips. Whether utilized for single-pass fillet welds or multi-pass heavy plate joining, the Hobart Fabcor 1100 delivers a stable arc, minimal spatter, and a flat bead profile that requires little post-weld cleanup. Trust Josef Gas to supply this high-specification consumable for your most demanding structural projects.
