S283319-K02 - Hobart TM-771 1/16" E71T-1 Flux-Cored Welding Wire (60lb Coil)

High-Performance Flux-Cored Wire for Critical Applications

The Hobart TM-771 1/16" Flux-Cored Wire is a premium tubular welding wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication. Packaged in a substantial 60lb coil, this wire is engineered for high-volume operations where downtime for spool changes must be minimized. It is an all-position wire that excels in single and multiple pass applications, making it a versatile choice for complex structural projects.

One of the defining characteristics of the TM-771 is its specific formulation for use with 100% CO2 shielding gas. This allows for deep penetration and robust fusion while maintaining a soft, quiet arc that operators appreciate. Unlike many conventional E71T-1 wires, the TM-771 produces virtually no spatter, significantly reducing the time and labor required for post-weld grinding and cleaning. The fast-freezing slag system supports excellent puddle control, particularly when welding out-of-position in vertical or overhead orientations.

Safety and weld integrity are paramount in industries like shipbuilding and pressure vessel fabrication. The Hobart TM-771 addresses these needs with a weld deposit that boasts diffusible hydrogen levels typically less than 5ml per 100g. This low-hydrogen characteristic is crucial for preventing hydrogen-induced cracking in thick structural steels and critical components. Whether used in the construction of offshore platforms, railcars, or heavy earth-moving equipment, this wire delivers mechanical properties that often surpass standard classification requirements, ensuring durable and reliable bonds.

Key Applications:

• Shipbuilding and Marine Construction
• Pressure Vessel Fabrication
• Structural Steel Erection
