S250615-027 - Hobart FabCOR Edge XP .052 Metal-Cored Wire 50lb Spool

Maximize Production with Hobart FabCOR Edge XP

For industrial fabrication environments where throughput and efficiency are paramount, the Hobart FabCOR Edge XP .052" Metal-Cored Wire offers a distinct competitive advantage. Engineered by Hobart Brothers to address the specific challenges of heavy manufacturing, this gas-shielded metal-cored wire is designed to streamline operations from the arc to the final inspection. The "XP" stands for X-CEPTIONAL Performance, a promise delivered through higher deposition rates and superior arc stability compared to solid wires and conventional metal-cored alternatives.

The defining feature of the FabCOR Edge XP is its advanced chemical formulation which optimizes silicon gathering. In typical metal-cored welding, silicon islands can scatter across the bead and adhere tenaciously, requiring aggressive grinding or chipping to remove before painting or coating. The Edge XP formulation causes these silicon deposits to congregate centrally on the weld bead and detach easily—often curling up on their own as the weld cools. This reduction in post-weld cleaning time directly translates to lower labor costs and faster cycle times, particularly in multi-pass applications.

This 50lb spool is ideally suited for high-volume shops utilizing semi-automatic or robotic welding systems. The wire feeds smoothly and provides excellent electrical contact, ensuring a stable arc even at high travel speeds. It is classified as E70C-6M H4 under AWS A5.18 standards, indicating its suitability for welding carbon steels with mixed shielding gases (typically high-argon blends). Whether used in the manufacturing of heavy earth-moving equipment, railcars, or structural steel components, the FabCOR Edge XP delivers deep penetration and consistent mechanical properties.

By switching to FabCOR Edge XP, facilities can expect to see improvements in overall operating efficiency. The combination of high travel speeds, low spatter levels, and minimal cleanup requirements makes it a premier choice for industries looking to optimize their welding processes without sacrificing quality. It performs exceptionally well on non-alloyed and fine-grain steels in flat and horizontal positions.
