S249408-050 - Hobart Fabcor 86R Metal-Cored Wire .035 500lb X-Pak

Hobart Fabcor 86R .035" Metal-Cored Wire (500lb X-Pak)

The Hobart Fabcor 86R is a premium metal-cored welding wire designed to tackle the toughest industrial fabrication challenges. Supplied in a substantial 500lb X-Pak (Exacto Pak), this product is engineered for high-volume manufacturing environments where downtime must be minimized. The bulk packaging ensures continuous feeding for robotic cells and automatic welding stations, significantly improving operating factor compared to standard spools.

One of the standout features of the Fabcor 86R is its chemical formulation, which includes higher levels of deoxidizing elements. This unique composition grants the wire exceptional tolerance for mill scale, rust, and oil, making it a go-to solution for structural steel and heavy equipment manufacturing where base material preparation is not always perfect. By mitigating porosity and inclusions caused by surface contaminants, this wire ensures structural integrity while reducing the labor costs associated with pre-weld grinding and cleaning.

This .035" diameter wire is versatile enough for both single and multiple pass applications. It operates with a smooth, stable arc under Argon/CO2 shielding gas mixtures, delivering high deposition efficiency. The result is a clean, high-quality weld bead with minimal spatter and virtually no slag to chip, streamlining the entire production process from arc-on to final inspection. Whether you are in shipbuilding, railcar construction, or general fabrication, the Fabcor 86R delivers the reliability and speed required for modern industry.
