S249419-002 - Hobart Fabcor 86R 1/16" Metal-Cored Welding Wire, 60lb Coil

High-Efficiency Metal-Cored Wire for Industrial Fabrication

The Hobart Fabcor 86R is a premium 1/16-inch metal-cored welding wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy equipment manufacturing, shipbuilding, and railcar fabrication. Engineered with a higher level of deoxidizing elements, this wire excels in applications where base materials may not be perfectly clean, offering exceptional tolerance for mill scale and light rust. This feature significantly reduces pre-weld preparation time, allowing for a more streamlined production workflow.

Classified as E70C-6M, the Fabcor 86R provides the high deposition rates characteristic of metal-cored wires, often exceeding those of solid MIG wires. This translates to faster travel speeds and increased throughput for industrial operations. The wire is formulated for use with Argon/CO2 shielding gas mixtures (typically 75-95% Argon), producing a smooth, stable arc with minimal spatter. This reduction in spatter, combined with low slag volume, minimizes post-weld cleanup, further enhancing operational efficiency.

Supplied in a 60 lb coil, this product is ideal for high-volume welding stations and automated systems where downtime for spool changes needs to be minimized. The 1/16-inch diameter is well-suited for welding thicker plate materials, providing deep penetration and strong fusion. Whether utilized in single-pass or multi-pass configurations, the Hobart Fabcor 86R delivers consistent mechanical properties and reliable performance in flat and horizontal welding positions.

Key Industrial Benefits

• Mill Scale Tolerance: High deoxidizers allow for welding over contaminants without porosity.
• Productivity: Higher deposition rates compared to solid wires reduce cycle times.
• Versatility: Suitable for general fabrication, structural steel, and heavy machinery.
