S249419-075 - Hobart FabCOR 86R 1/16-inch Metal Core Wire 750lb Drum

High-Volume Metal-Cored Wire for Industrial Fabrication

The Hobart FabCOR 86R 1/16" Metal Core Wire in a 750 lb drum is a premium choice for industrial manufacturers seeking efficiency and quality in their welding operations. Designed by Hobart, a leader in filler metal technology, this wire is engineered to tackle the common challenges of mild steel fabrication, particularly when dealing with less-than-perfect base materials. The 750 lb drum packaging is specifically intended for high-volume environments, such as robotic cells or continuous automated welding stations, where minimizing downtime for spool changes is critical to maintaining throughput.

One of the standout characteristics of the FabCOR 86R is its chemical formulation. It features a higher level of deoxidizing elements compared to standard metal-cored wires. This unique composition allows the wire to penetrate through mill scale, rust, and oil more effectively than solid wires, reducing the need for extensive pre-weld cleaning. For workshops that process large quantities of structural steel or heavy equipment parts, this tolerance to surface contaminants translates directly into labor savings and faster production cycles.

At Josef Gas, we understand that consistency is key for our industrial clients. This wire delivers a stable arc and excellent bead wetting, ensuring that the final weld is not only strong but also aesthetically pleasing. The metal-cored design combines the high deposition rates of flux-cored wires with the high efficiency of solid wires, offering the best of both worlds. Whether you are welding agricultural machinery, railcars, or general structural components, the FabCOR 86R provides the reliability needed for critical welds.

By choosing the bulk 750 lb drum, facilities can significantly optimize their workflow. Less frequent changeovers mean your operators or robots spend more time welding and less time setting up. This product is formulated for use with Argon/CO2 shielding gas mixtures, providing a versatile solution for single and multi-pass applications in the flat and horizontal positions.
