S281215-058 - Hobart Fabcor 80D2 .052 Metal-Cored Wire 1000lb Drum

High-Performance Welding for Heavy Industry

The Hobart Fabcor 80D2 is a premium metal-cored welding wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy equipment manufacturing and structural fabrication. Engineered for high-strength, low-alloy steels, this wire delivers exceptional performance where durability and weld integrity are paramount. Whether you are welding chassis frames, crane booms, or earthmoving equipment, the Fabcor 80D2 ensures that your welds can withstand significant stress and load.

This product comes in a substantial 1000 lb X-Pak drum, making it an ideal choice for industrial facilities focused on efficiency and continuous operation. Bulk packaging significantly reduces the frequency of changeovers compared to standard spools, allowing your welding operators or robotic cells to maintain arc-on time for longer periods. This translates to lower labor costs and increased throughput for large-scale projects.

Efficiency and Quality Combined

Metal-cored wires like the Fabcor 80D2 are known for their ability to combine the best attributes of solid and flux-cored wires. You get the high deposition rates and travel speeds typically associated with flux-cored wires, but with the low fume generation and high efficiency of solid wires. The result is a clean, high-quality weld deposit with minimal spatter, reducing the need for post-weld grinding and cleanup. This wire is specifically formulated to operate with a shielding gas mixture of 98% Argon and 2% Oxygen, providing a stable, smooth arc that is easy to control.

Built for Tough Environments

Industries such as mining, shipbuilding, and railcar manufacturing rely on materials that can take a beating. The Fabcor 80D2 is developed to match these requirements, offering excellent impact toughness and tensile strength. It is suitable for both single and multiple pass applications, giving fabricators the versatility needed to tackle complex joint configurations and thick plate welding. By choosing Hobart, you are investing in a legacy of welding excellence that supports the backbone of industrial manufacturing.
