OVERVIEW

Maximize Throughput with Hobart FabCOR Edge XP

The Hobart FabCOR Edge XP .052" Metal-Cored Wire is engineered for industrial environments where speed, efficiency, and quality are paramount. Supplied in a massive 1000 lb Rx-Pak, this bulk wire solution is perfect for high-volume shops utilizing robotic or mechanized welding systems. The "XP" stands for X-CEPTIONAL Performance, and this wire delivers exactly that by combining high deposition rates with a user-friendly arc that welders of all skill levels can appreciate.

One of the standout features of the FabCOR Edge XP is its advanced chemical formulation. It provides excellent arc stability and low spatter, which keeps the contact tip clean and reduces downtime for maintenance. More importantly, it excels at "silicon gathering." As the weld pool solidifies, silicon deposits are forced to the center of the bead in large, distinct islands rather than being scattered. This makes post-weld cleaning incredibly fast—often requiring just a quick scrape rather than extensive grinding—allowing your team to move parts to the paint or assembly line faster.

Designed primarily for flat and horizontal positioning, this wire offers superior wetting action that helps create smooth, flat bead contours with minimal risk of cold lap. Whether you are fabricating heavy agricultural machinery, structural steel components, or railcars, the FabCOR Edge XP helps you get more work done in less time. The 1000 lb bulk packaging minimizes changeover frequency, further optimizing your production workflow.

FAQ

FabCOR Edge XP is designed for use with mixed gases, typically 75% to 95% Argon with the balance being CO2. It is not designed for 100% CO2.

Metal-cored wire like FabCOR Edge XP generally offers higher deposition rates, faster travel speeds, and better gap-bridging capabilities compared to solid MIG wire, along with reduced spatter.

No, FabCOR Edge XP is formulated primarily for flat and horizontal welding positions. For out-of-position welding, a pulsed MIG process or a different wire type (like flux-cored) would be required.

Rx-Pak refers to a bulk packaging system, in this case, a 1000 lb drum/box, designed for high-volume users to reduce the frequency of wire spool changes.

It features excellent silicon gathering, meaning the glass islands form in the center of the bead and are easily removed, reducing grinding time before painting.

Yes, the 1000 lb bulk pack and the wire's consistent arc characteristics and low spatter make it an excellent choice for robotic and automated welding systems.

It is classified as E70C-6M H4 per AWS A5.18.

It is designed for welding non-alloyed and fine grain (carbon) steels.
