S279512-027 - Hobart Fabcor Edge Ni1 .045 Metal-Core Wire 50lb Spool

High-Performance Metal-Cored Wire for Demanding Applications

The Hobart Fabcor Edge Ni1 is a premium .045-inch metal-cored welding wire supplied in a 50 lb spool. Engineered for the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW-C) process, this consumable is specifically formulated to join nickel-molybdenum steels, offering robust mechanical properties and operational efficiency. It meets AWS E80C-Ni1 classifications, ensuring it delivers the necessary tensile strength and impact toughness required for critical industrial applications.

This wire excels in single or multiple pass applications and is compatible with shielding gas mixtures such as 75% Argon/25% CO2 or 98% Argon/2% Oxygen. The metal-cored design allows for higher current densities, resulting in faster travel speeds and higher deposition rates compared to traditional solid wires. This makes the Fabcor Edge Ni1 an excellent choice for fabrication shops looking to improve throughput without sacrificing weld quality.

One of the standout technical characteristics of this wire is its low-temperature impact toughness. It is designed to maintain ductility and resist cracking in environments where equipment is subjected to sub-zero temperatures. Additionally, it can be utilized for weathering steel applications where an exact color match is not a primary requirement, providing versatility across various structural projects.

Technical Specifications

The Fabcor Edge Ni1 provides a stable arc with minimal spatter, reducing the need for post-weld grinding and cleanup. The slag system is designed to be minimal, often appearing as small islands that are easily removed. This wire is particularly effective for welding steels with 1/2 Ni/1/4 Mo, 1 Ni/1/4 Mo, and 1 1/2 Ni/1/4 Mo compositions.
