OVERVIEW

Hobart Fabcor 80N2 Metal-Cored Wire: Reliability for Critical Structures

The Hobart Fabcor 80N2 is a premium metal-cored welding wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication. Supplied in a 33 lb spool with a 0.045-inch diameter, this wire is engineered for welders who require exceptional performance in challenging environments. It is specifically formulated to deliver high Charpy V-Notch impact values even at sub-zero temperatures, making it a top choice for projects where structural integrity cannot be compromised by cold weather conditions.

This wire excels in both single and multiple pass applications. Unlike standard solid wires, the metal-cored design of the Fabcor 80N2 allows for higher deposition rates and faster travel speeds, which translates to increased productivity on the shop floor or job site. It operates smoothly with shielding gas mixtures of 85-90% Argon/Balance CO2 or 95-99% Argon/Balance Oxygen, providing a stable arc with minimal spatter. This reduces post-weld cleanup time, allowing your team to focus on welding rather than grinding.

Ideally suited for industries such as offshore drilling, shipbuilding, and heavy construction, the Fabcor 80N2 offers the mechanical properties necessary to weld high-strength, low-alloy steels. Its nominal 1% nickel content enhances the weld metal's toughness, ensuring that joints remain durable under stress. Whether you are welding pipeline components or structural beams for an offshore platform, this Hobart wire provides the consistency and quality professional fabricators trust.

At Josef Gas, we understand that critical applications require consumables that perform every time. The Hobart Fabcor 80N2 is stocked to ensure you have access to high-grade metal-cored wires that help you meet strict code requirements while maintaining efficiency.

FAQ

The Hobart Fabcor 80N2 is classified as E80C-Ni2 according to AWS A5.28 specifications.

It is designed for use with 85-90% Argon/Balance CO2 or 95-99% Argon/Balance Oxygen mixtures.

Its primary advantage is high Charpy V-Notch impact toughness at sub-zero temperatures (down to -40°F), making it ideal for critical structural applications.

This is a metal-cored wire. It has a metallic powder core but produces very little slag compared to traditional flux-cored wires.

This specific product is 0.045 inches in diameter and comes on a 33 lb spool.

Yes, it contains approximately 1% Nickel, which enhances the strength and toughness of the weld metal.

It requires Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP).

Yes, due to its consistent feeding, low slag, and stable arc characteristics, it is well-suited for robotic and automated welding processes.
