S289615-027 - Hobart FabCOR Edge D2 0.052 Metal-Cored Wire 50lb Spool

High-Performance Metal-Cored Wire for High-Strength Steels

The Hobart FabCOR Edge D2 .052" Metal-Cored Wire is a premium welding consumable designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication. Engineered as part of Hobart's renowned FabCOR Edge family, this wire combines the productivity benefits of metal-cored technology with a specific low-alloy formulation containing approximately 0.5% Molybdenum. This addition makes it an exceptional choice for welding high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels where superior tensile strength and creep resistance are required.

Fabricators choose the FabCOR Edge D2 for its ability to deliver high deposition rates that exceed those of traditional solid wires. The composite metal-cored design allows for higher current densities, resulting in faster travel speeds and increased throughput without sacrificing weld quality. The wire produces a spray transfer that is smooth, stable, and virtually spatter-free, ensuring a clean work environment and minimizing the need for post-weld cleanup. Its superior wetting action creates flat, smooth bead profiles that tie in well at the toes, reducing the risk of defects and the need for grinding.

This 50lb spool is optimized for automated or high-volume semi-automatic welding environments. It is formulated to perform with mixed shielding gases, specifically 75-95% Argon/Balance CO2 or 95-98% Argon/Balance Oxygen, offering flexibility depending on your shop's gas supply. Whether used for single-pass or multi-pass applications, the FabCOR Edge D2 delivers consistent mechanical properties, making it a reliable solution for critical infrastructure projects.

Key Benefits

• Enhanced Strength: The 0.5% Mo deposit ensures the weld metal meets the mechanical requirements for high-strength applications.
• Productivity: Higher deposition efficiency allows for faster completion of long welds.
• Clean Welds: Minimal slag and spatter reduce non-value-added cleaning time.
