Hobart FabCOR 80N2 Metal-Cored Wire

The Hobart FabCOR 80N2 is a high-performance metal-cored welding wire designed for industrial fabrication where efficiency and weld quality are paramount. Supplied in a bulk 500 lb Exacto Pak, this .045-inch diameter wire is engineered for high-volume manufacturing environments, reducing downtime associated with frequent spool changes. It is specifically formulated to join high-strength low-alloy steels and weathering steels, making it a staple in heavy equipment manufacturing and structural steel sectors.

One of the standout features of the FabCOR 80N2 is its excellent low-temperature impact toughness. This property ensures the integrity of welds even in harsh, cold environments, which is essential for outdoor structures like bridges and railcars. The wire operates with a smooth, stable arc that produces minimal spatter, reducing post-weld cleanup time and labor costs. Its high deposition efficiency allows welders to lay down more metal in less time compared to traditional solid wires, significantly boosting throughput.

This wire is designed for use with mixed shielding gases (typically Argon/CO2 blends), which helps achieve a deep penetration profile and superior bead appearance. The metal-cored construction combines the benefits of solid wire—such as low slag and high efficiency—with the alloying capabilities of flux-cored wire. Whether you are welding thick plate structural components or fabricating heavy machinery, the Hobart FabCOR 80N2 provides the reliability and performance required for critical welds.
