The Hobart FabCOR Element 70C6 .052" 500lb X-Pak is a premium metal-cored welding wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial manufacturing. Engineered specifically to address environmental compliance and productivity challenges, this wire offers a significant reduction in manganese emissions compared to standard metal-cored wires. For large-scale fabrication shops, shipyards, and heavy equipment manufacturers, the FabCOR Element 70C6 provides a solution that supports welder safety without compromising on mechanical performance or weld quality.
This product comes in a 500 lb X-Pak (Exacto Pak), a bulk packaging solution ideal for high-volume welding stations and robotic cells. The X-Pak design ensures a smooth, tangle-free wire feed, which is critical for maintaining arc stability in automated processes. By utilizing a 500 lb drum rather than smaller spools, facilities can drastically reduce the downtime associated with changeovers. Fewer interruptions mean higher arc-on time, allowing production lines to maintain peak efficiency throughout shifts. The robust packaging also protects the wire from environmental contaminants during storage and transport.
One of the standout features of the FabCOR Element series is its formulation to assist companies in meeting increasingly strict OSHA and environmental regulations regarding manganese exposure. By lowering the amount of manganese in the welding fume, this wire helps create a cleaner working environment and may reduce the burden on fume extraction systems. It is an excellent choice for shops looking to proactively manage air quality while continuing to weld mild steel components effectively.
Beyond its safety benefits, the FabCOR Element 70C6 delivers the high deposition rates and fast travel speeds that metal-cored wires are known for. It provides excellent gap-bridging capabilities and produces a smooth bead with minimal spatter, reducing post-weld cleanup time. Whether used for structural steel, railcar construction, or general fabrication, this wire ensures consistent, high-quality results that industrial professionals rely on.
