S281212-027 - Hobart Fabcor 80D2 .045 Metal-Core Wire 50lb Spool

Technical Overview of Hobart Fabcor 80D2

The Hobart Fabcor 80D2 is a high-performance metal-cored arc welding wire specifically engineered for joining high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steels. It is designed to meet the rigorous structural demands found in heavy industrial sectors such as mining, construction, and shipbuilding. The .045-inch diameter wire offers a precise balance of current density and deposition rate, making it a versatile choice for various joint configurations.

This consumable is formulated to operate optimally with a shielding gas mixture of 98% Argon and 2% Oxygen. This specific gas blend promotes a stable, spray-like transfer that significantly reduces spatter and ensures deep penetration. The wire's chemical composition is tailored to provide excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and superior impact toughness, which are critical for components subjected to heavy loads and stress.

Supplied in a 50lb spool, the Fabcor 80D2 supports high-volume production environments by minimizing the frequency of spool changes. Its metal-cored construction allows for higher travel speeds compared to traditional flux-cored wires and higher deposition efficiencies than solid wires. It is suitable for both single and multiple pass welding, providing consistent weld bead appearance and integrity across extensive fabrication projects.
