S250608-029 - Hobart FabCOR Edge XP .035 Metal Core Wire 33lb Spool

Premium Metal-Cored Wire for Industrial Fabrication

The Hobart FabCOR Edge XP .035" is a high-performance metal-cored welding wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial manufacturing. Engineered for semi-automatic, mechanized, and robotic welding applications, this wire (SKU: S250608-029) delivers exceptional consistency and reliability. It is classified under AWS E70C-6M H4, making it an ideal choice for welding non-alloyed and fine-grain carbon steels found in structural fabrication, heavy machinery, and transportation sectors.

One of the standout features of the FabCOR Edge XP is its ability to streamline operations through superior arc characteristics. The wire produces a stable, balanced arc that remains manageable even at high currents, allowing for increased deposition rates compared to solid wires. For industrial shops looking to maximize throughput, this translates to faster travel speeds and more arc-on time. The 33lb spool size is a standard configuration for industrial wire feeders, ensuring compatibility with existing equipment setups while minimizing downtime for spool changes.

Josef Gas recommends this product for environments where weld quality and aesthetic finish are critical. The "XP" in the name stands for X-CEPTIONAL Performance, particularly regarding weld pool fluidity. This fluidity ensures excellent wetting action at the toes of the weld, reducing stress concentrations and improving fatigue life. Furthermore, the wire's formulation promotes optimal silicon gathering, where glass-like islands form centrally on the bead rather than scattering, allowing for quick and easy removal before painting or coating.

Key Industrial Benefits

• High Efficiency: Achieves higher deposition rates than solid ER70S-6 wires, reducing total welding time on heavy sections.
• Clean Finishes: Virtually spatter-free performance reduces post-weld grinding and cleanup labor.
• Robust Mechanicals: Provides consistent tensile and yield strengths meeting AWS standards for critical structural work.
