OVERVIEW

High-Efficiency Structural Welding Solution

The Hobart FabCO TR-70 is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire engineered for heavy industrial fabrication. Designed to meet AWS E70T-1C and E70T-9C-H8 classifications, this wire provides exceptional mechanical properties and reliability for demanding structural applications. The 1/16-inch diameter format allows for high amperage settings, resulting in superior deposition rates that significantly improve throughput in manufacturing environments. This specific SKU is packaged in a 600lb X-Pack (Exacto Pak), a bulk drum configuration designed to minimize downtime associated with frequent spool changes, making it an ideal choice for automated systems or high-volume manual welding stations.

Ideally suited for welding mild and low-alloy steels, the FabCO TR-70 excels in the flat and horizontal positions. Its formulation is optimized for use with 100% CO2 shielding gas, offering a cost-effective solution without compromising on weld quality. The wire exhibits deep penetration characteristics, ensuring solid root fusion on thick plates and heavy sections common in earthmoving equipment, shipbuilding, and railcar manufacturing. With a diffusible hydrogen content of less than 8ml/100g (H8), it offers enhanced resistance to hydrogen-induced cracking, a critical factor in maintaining the structural integrity of critical components under stress.

Industrial operations benefit from the wire's consistent feedability and arc stability. The X-Pack drum system ensures a straight, tangle-free payout, reducing wear on liners and contact tips while maintaining a stable arc even over long conduit runs. This consistency is vital for maintaining production schedules and ensuring uniform weld quality across large batches. Whether utilized in general fabrication or specialized heavy equipment repair, the Hobart FabCO TR-70 delivers the performance metrics required by modern industrial standards.

FAQ

This wire is designed to be used with 100% CO2 shielding gas.

The FabCO TR-70 is classified for Flat and Horizontal positions only.

It meets AWS A5.20 classifications E70T-1C and E70T-9C-H8.

This specific product is 1/16 inch (approx. 1.6mm) in diameter.

The X-Pack is a bulk drum packaging containing 600lbs of wire, designed for high-volume stationary welding.

Yes, it is designed for both single and multiple pass applications on mild and low-alloy steels.

Yes, like most gas-shielded flux-cored wires, it operates on Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP).

The H8 designation indicates low diffusible hydrogen (less than 8ml/100g), which reduces the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking in the weld zone.
