OVERVIEW

High-Performance Metal-Cored Wire for Heavy Fabrication

The Hobart Fabcor 702 is a premium metal-cored welding wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication. Supplied in a substantial 60 lb coil, this 7/64-inch diameter wire is engineered for high-deposition welding, making it an ideal choice for structural steel, heavy equipment manufacturing, and railcar construction. As an AWS E70C-6M classified wire, it delivers consistent mechanical properties and reliability that professional fabricators trust for critical welds.

One of the primary benefits of the Fabcor 702 is its exceptional deposition efficiency. Compared to solid wires or traditional flux-cored options, this metal-cored wire allows for higher travel speeds and greater metal lay-down rates. This translates directly to improved productivity in the shop, allowing operators to complete long, heavy welds in less time. The wire is formulated to perform optimally with Argon/CO2 shielding gas mixtures, providing a smooth, stable arc that penetrates well while maintaining excellent bead contour.

In addition to speed, the Fabcor 702 is known for its operator-friendly characteristics. It produces very low spatter levels, which significantly reduces the time and labor required for post-weld cleaning and grinding. The wire also features high levels of deoxidizers, enabling it to weld over light rust and mill scale without compromising weld quality. For industrial supply needs where throughput and quality are paramount, the Hobart Fabcor 702 60lb coil is a cost-effective and high-performance solution.

FAQ

Hobart Fabcor 702 is classified as E70C-6M according to AWS A5.18 standards.

This wire is designed for use with mixed gases, typically 75-95% Argon with the balance being CO2.

This product is 7/64 inch (approx. 2.8mm) in diameter.

Metal-cored wires of this diameter (7/64") are generally recommended for Flat and Horizontal positions due to the high fluidity of the weld pool.

Metal-cored wires produce very little slag compared to flux-cored wires. You may see small silicon islands, but there is no heavy slag covering to chip off.

This product comes as a 60 lb (approx. 27.2 kg) coil.

Yes, Fabcor 702 has high deoxidizer levels that allow it to handle light to moderate mill scale and rust better than solid wires.

It requires Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP) polarity.
