S249425-096 - Hobart Fabcor 86R 5/64" Metal Core Wire 950lb Reel

Industrial Grade Hobart Fabcor 86R Metal-Cored Wire

The Hobart Fabcor 86R is a premium metal-cored welding wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial manufacturing. Supplied in a massive 950 lb reel, this product is specifically tailored for high-volume environments such as shipbuilding, railcar manufacturing, and structural steel fabrication where downtime for spool changes must be minimized. The 5/64-inch diameter is a heavy-duty size intended for high-deposition welding, allowing operators and automated systems to lay down significant amounts of metal quickly and efficiently.

One of the standout features of the Fabcor 86R is its chemical formulation. It contains higher levels of deoxidizing elements compared to standard solid wires or other metal-cored options. This chemical composition allows the wire to be incredibly forgiving when welding over mill scale, light rust, and other surface contaminants commonly found on hot-rolled steel. For industrial facilities, this means less time spent on pre-weld grinding and preparation, directly translating to increased throughput and productivity.

This wire is designed for use with Argon/CO2 shielding gas mixtures, providing a stable arc and excellent puddle control. The metal-cored structure combines the high deposition rates of flux-cored wires with the high efficiency and low slag generation of solid wires. The result is a clean, high-quality weld with minimal spatter, reducing the need for post-weld cleanup. When your facility requires a reliable, high-performance wire that can handle imperfect base metals while delivering structural-grade integrity, the Hobart Fabcor 86R in the 950 lb bulk package is the optimal solution.
