OVERVIEW

Hobart FabCOR Element 70C6: Cleaner Air, Superior Welds

The Hobart FabCOR Element 70C6 .045" 33lb Spool represents a significant advancement in welding consumable technology, specifically engineered to address safety and environmental concerns in the heavy fabrication industry. This metal-cored wire is designed to deliver the high-performance characteristics professional welders expect from Hobart while actively reducing manganese emissions in the welding fume. It is an ideal choice for workshops and industrial sites prioritizing welder safety and regulatory compliance without sacrificing productivity.

Metal-cored wires are renowned for their efficiency, and the Element 70C6 is no exception. It offers higher deposition rates compared to solid wires, allowing for faster travel speeds and increased throughput. This makes it particularly effective for large-scale projects in shipbuilding, railcar manufacturing, and heavy equipment fabrication where time and weld quality are critical. The 33lb spool size is a standard industrial package, ensuring compatibility with most industrial wire feeders and minimizing downtime for spool changes.

Beyond its safety benefits, this wire provides excellent weldability. Operators will appreciate the stable arc, low spatter levels, and superior wetting action that helps prevent common defects like cold lap and undercut. Whether you are welding single or multiple passes, the FabCOR Element 70C6 delivers consistent, high-quality results on mild steel. By choosing this wire from Josef Gas, you are investing in a solution that balances operational efficiency with a safer working environment.

Key Benefits

  • Reduced Emissions: Formulated to lower manganese levels in welding fumes.
  • High Productivity: Fast travel speeds and high deposition rates.
  • Quality Finish: Low spatter and excellent bead appearance reduce cleanup.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for heavy equipment, railcars, and general fabrication.

FAQ

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

The primary benefit is significantly reduced manganese emissions in the welding fume, helping to improve the working environment and meet safety regulations.

The Hobart FabCOR Element 70C6 meets the AWS A5.18 classification of E70C-6M H4.

Standard metal-cored wires like this are primarily designed for flat and horizontal positions. However, out-of-position welding may be possible using pulsed MIG capabilities.

This specific spool contains wire with a diameter of 0.045 inches.

Metal-cored wires produce very little to no slag, often appearing as small islands of silica that are easily removed, unlike the heavy slag covering of flux-cored wires.

This wire should be operated using Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP).

While metal-cored wires handle mill scale better than solid wires, they are generally less tolerant of heavy rust and oil compared to flux-cored wires. Clean base material is recommended for best results.
