S249412-027 - Hobart FabCOR 86R .045" E70C-6M Metal Core Welding Wire 50lb Spool

High-Performance Metal Core Wire for Industrial Fabrication

The Hobart FabCOR 86R .045" Metal Core Welding Wire is a premium gas-shielded carbon steel tubular wire designed to excel in demanding industrial environments. Packaged in a 50 lb (22.7 kg) spool, this consumable is engineered with enhanced deoxidizing elements, making it exceptionally tolerant to mill scale and rust. This feature allows fabricators to weld directly over prepared surfaces with less stringent pre-cleaning requirements compared to standard solid wires, thereby optimizing workflow efficiency.

Classified under AWS E70C-6M H4, the FabCOR 86R delivers consistent mechanical properties and low diffusible hydrogen levels, reducing the risk of cold cracking in critical structures. The metal core construction combines the high deposition rates of flux-cored wires with the high efficiencies of solid wires. It operates smoothly with Argon/CO2 shielding gas mixtures, producing a stable arc with minimal spatter. This wire is particularly effective for single and multiple pass applications in general fabrication, railcar manufacturing, and shipbuilding.

Technical specifications include a 0.045-inch diameter suitable for a wide range of amperage settings. The wire's ability to bridge gaps makes it a reliable choice for joints with less-than-perfect fit-up. By choosing Hobart FabCOR 86R, industrial operations can achieve higher travel speeds and improved throughput while maintaining rigorous weld quality standards.
