S246519-044 - Hobart FabCO RXR 1/16" Flux-Cored Wire, 44lb Spool

Hobart FabCO RXR 1/16" Flux-Cored Wire

The Hobart FabCO RXR is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed to tackle the toughest industrial fabrication challenges. Engineered with a robust de-oxidizing system, this wire is specifically formulated to weld over mild rust and mill scale, making it an indispensable asset in heavy equipment manufacturing, railcar construction, and shipbuilding. By minimizing the need for extensive pre-weld cleaning, the FabCO RXR significantly improves throughput and efficiency in high-volume production environments.

This 1/16-inch diameter wire is packaged in a standard 44lb spool, suitable for industrial wire feeders. It operates with 100% CO2 shielding gas, providing deep penetration and excellent fusion. The wire is classified under AWS E70T-1C and E70T-9C, indicating its suitability for both single and multiple pass applications in the flat and horizontal positions. Welders appreciate the FabCO RXR for its smooth arc characteristics and fluid weld puddle, which wets out evenly to produce flat, well-contoured beads with minimal effort.

One of the standout features of the FabCO RXR is its slag release. The slag coverage is complete but detaches easily—often curling up on its own—which drastically reduces the time spent on chipping and grinding between passes or after the weld is complete. This feature, combined with low spatter levels, ensures a cleaner work environment and higher quality finish. Whether you are fabricating structural steel beams or repairing heavy agricultural machinery, the Hobart FabCO RXR delivers consistent, high-strength results you can rely on.
