S294619-029 - Hobart FabCOR Element 70C6 1/16-inch Metal-Cored Wire 33lb Spool

Hobart FabCOR Element 70C6 Metal-Cored Wire

The Hobart FabCOR Element 70C6 is a revolutionary mild-steel metal-cored wire engineered specifically to address the growing need for reduced manganese exposure in the welding industry. Packaged in a 33-pound spool with a 1/16-inch diameter, this wire (SKU: S294619-029) is designed for heavy industrial applications where safety compliance and high productivity must coexist. By significantly lowering manganese emissions in the welding fume, the Element 70C6 assists fabrication shops in meeting increasingly stringent OSHA and environmental standards.

Beyond its safety benefits, this wire delivers the exceptional performance characteristics expected from the Hobart FabCOR line. It is classified under AWS A5.18 as E70C-6M and is optimized for use with Argon/CO2 shielding gas mixtures (typically 75% to 95% Argon). The wire provides high deposition rates and fast travel speeds, making it superior to solid wires for filling joints in heavy equipment, shipbuilding, and railcar manufacturing. Its formulation ensures a smooth, stable arc with minimal spatter, reducing post-weld cleanup time and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

The FabCOR Element 70C6 is suitable for both single and multiple pass applications in the flat and horizontal positions. It offers excellent wetting action, which helps combat lack of fusion defects often associated with faster travel speeds. Whether you are welding structural steel or manufacturing heavy machinery, this wire provides a balanced solution of mechanical integrity, operator safety, and production speed.
