OVERVIEW

Maximize Throughput with Hobart FabCOR Edge XP Metal-Core Wire

The Hobart FabCOR Edge XP .045-inch welding wire represents the pinnacle of metal-cored wire technology, specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of high-volume industrial fabrication. Supplied in a substantial 1000 lb Recyclable Exacto-Pak drum, this product is designed to minimize downtime associated with spool changes, making it an ideal choice for robotic cells and continuous semi-automatic welding stations. The "XP" stands for Extra Performance, delivering tangible improvements in manufacturing efficiency through advanced chemical formulation.

One of the primary challenges in heavy fabrication is post-weld cleanup, particularly the removal of silicon islands before painting or coating. FabCOR Edge XP addresses this directly with best-in-class silicon gathering capabilities. The wire's chemistry causes silicon deposits to aggregate into large, glassy islands that often self-release or are easily removed, leaving a clean, smooth bead. This feature alone can significantly reduce labor costs in the finishing department, streamlining the transition from the weld booth to the paint line.

Beyond cleanup, this E70C-6M wire offers exceptional deposition rates and travel speeds that exceed those of solid wires and many competitive metal-cored options. The high current density characteristic of the metal-core design ensures deep penetration and fusion, while the proprietary fill stabilizes the arc for consistent performance. Whether utilized in the manufacturing of heavy earth-moving equipment, railcars, or structural steel components, the FabCOR Edge XP provides the reliability and speed necessary to maintain tight production schedules.

The 1000 lb Exacto-Pak packaging is a critical component for facility managers looking to optimize logistics. By utilizing a bulk drum, facilities reduce the frequency of wire changeovers, thereby increasing arc-on time. The recyclable nature of the packaging also supports corporate sustainability goals by reducing landfill waste. For industrial suppliers and fabricators seeking a wire that balances high-speed performance with superior finish quality, the Hobart FabCOR Edge XP is the definitive solution.

FAQ

The Hobart FabCOR Edge XP is classified as E70C-6M according to AWS standards.

This wire is designed for use with mixed gases, typically 75-95% Argon with the balance being CO2.

The 'XP' stands for Extra Performance, offering improved silicon gathering (easier cleaning), better weld bead contouring, and higher travel speeds.

FabCOR Edge XP is designed for welding in the flat and horizontal positions.

Yes, like most metal-cored wires, it operates on Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP).

This specific SKU comes in a 1000 lb (453.6 kg) Recyclable Exacto-Pak drum.

This is a metal-cored wire, which means it consists of a metal sheath filled with metallic powders, offering higher deposition efficiency than flux-cored or solid wires.

It is ideal for heavy fabrication industries including agriculture, mining, railcar, and structural steel where high productivity is required.
