OVERVIEW

High-Performance Metal-Cored Welding Wire

The Hobart Fabcor Edge Ni1 is a premium metal-cored welding wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication. Engineered by Hobart, a leader in welding consumables, this wire is specifically formulated for welding nickel-molybdenum steels. It offers a superior alternative to traditional solid wires by providing higher deposition rates and faster travel speeds, which translates to increased productivity in your shop. The .052-inch diameter is ideal for structural applications where deep penetration and high fill rates are required.

One of the standout features of the Fabcor Edge Ni1 is its exceptional toughness at sub-zero temperatures. This makes it the perfect choice for industries operating in harsh environments, such as mining, railcar construction, and heavy equipment manufacturing. The wire's formulation ensures that welds remain durable and crack-resistant even under extreme cold, providing peace of mind for critical structural components. Additionally, it is suitable for welding weathering steels where a precise color match is not strictly required, adding to its versatility.

The "Edge" series from Hobart is renowned for its excellent arc characteristics. Operators will appreciate the smooth, stable arc and minimal spatter, which reduces post-weld cleanup time. The wire wets out smoothly at the toes of the weld, reducing the risk of cold lap and ensuring a high-quality finish. Whether you are fabricating chassis frames, agricultural machinery, or heavy-duty construction equipment, the Fabcor Edge Ni1 delivers consistent, high-quality results that professionals trust.

Packaged in a 33-pound spool, this wire is designed for standard industrial wire feeders. It operates effectively with mixed shielding gases, specifically 75% Argon/25% CO2 or 98% Argon/2% Oxygen mixtures. This flexibility allows welders to optimize their arc characteristics based on the specific joint configuration and position. By choosing Hobart Fabcor Edge Ni1, you are investing in a consumable that balances efficiency, mechanical integrity, and operator appeal.
