S250612-029 - Hobart FabCOR Edge XP .045 Metal Core Wire E70C-6M 33lb Spool

High-Performance Metal Core Wire for Industrial Fabrication

The Hobart FabCOR® Edge™ XP is a premium .045-inch (1.2 mm) gas-shielded metal-cored wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial manufacturing. Engineered with the AWS classification E70C-6M, this tubular wire provides a superior alternative to solid wires in heavy fabrication applications, offering higher deposition rates and improved travel speeds. The "XP" stands for X-ceptional Performance, highlighting the wire's ability to deliver consistent, high-quality welds with minimal downtime.

One of the standout technical features of the FabCOR Edge XP is its advanced silicon management system. During the welding process, silicon islands are gathered effectively to the center of the weld bead, rather than scattering near the toes. This characteristic significantly reduces the time and labor required for pre-paint cleaning and inter-pass grinding. The wire is formulated for welding non-alloyed and fine-grain carbon steels, making it an ideal choice for structural steel fabrication, heavy equipment manufacturing, and railcar production.

The 33 lb (15 kg) spool package is designed for standard wire feeders, ensuring compatibility with existing semi-automatic, mechanized, and robotic welding setups. The wire operates with a balanced arc that remains stable even at high amperages, reducing spatter generation to negligible levels. This efficiency translates to lower consumable costs and higher throughput for shop environments. By optimizing weld pool fluidity, the FabCOR Edge XP ensures excellent bead contouring and wetting action, reducing the risk of cold lap and other common defects associated with high-speed welding.

For industrial supply managers and fabrication supervisors, the FabCOR Edge XP represents a strategic investment in productivity. Its ability to perform single and multi-pass welds in flat and horizontal positions allows for versatility across various project types. Whether utilized in the manufacturing of agricultural machinery or commercial trucks, this wire delivers the mechanical properties and operational reliability required for critical welds.
