S224529-008 - Hobart Fabshield 4 3/32" Self-Shielded Flux-Cored Wire - 600lb Drum

High-Performance Self-Shielded Flux-Cored Wire

The Hobart Fabshield 4 is a premium self-shielded flux-cored wire designed for heavy-duty industrial applications requiring high deposition rates. Engineered to meet AWS E70T-4 specifications, this wire excels in single and multiple pass applications on mild steel. Its formulation allows for aggressive welding speeds while maintaining excellent bead contour and sound weld deposits. The 3/32-inch diameter is specifically optimized for heavy structural fabrication where filling large joints efficiently is critical to project timelines.

This product is supplied in a substantial 600lb drum, making it an ideal choice for automated setups or high-volume manual stations where downtime for spool changes must be minimized. The Fabshield 4 operates on DCEN (Direct Current Electrode Negative) polarity and does not require an external shielding gas, significantly simplifying equipment setup and reducing operational costs. This feature is particularly advantageous in field environments where wind can disrupt gas coverage, ensuring consistent weld quality even in less-than-ideal conditions.

Ideally suited for flat and horizontal welding positions, the Fabshield 4 offers a smooth arc and easy slag removal, reducing post-weld cleanup time. It is widely utilized in industries such as shipbuilding, barge construction, and heavy machinery manufacturing. By delivering high deposition efficiency and robust mechanical properties, Hobart Fabshield 4 stands out as a reliable solution for demanding structural steel projects.
