S246519-056 - Hobart FabCO RXR 1/16" E70T-1C Flux-Cored Wire 600lb Drum

Industrial-Grade Flux-Cored Wire for Heavy Fabrication

The Hobart FabCO RXR is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial manufacturing. Engineered with a specific chemical composition rich in deoxidizers, this wire excels in applications where base materials may not be perfectly clean. It effectively handles mill scale, rust, and other surface contaminants, ensuring sound welds with minimal porosity even under less-than-ideal preparation conditions. This specific SKU is supplied in a 600lb X-Pak (Exacto Pak) drum, a bulk packaging solution tailored for high-volume production environments. By utilizing a drum system, facilities can drastically reduce the downtime associated with frequent spool changes, thereby increasing overall throughput and operational efficiency.

Classified as E70T-1C and E70T-9C under AWS standards, the FabCO RXR is formulated for use with 100% CO2 shielding gas. This gas selection not only provides deep penetration profiles essential for structural integrity but also offers a cost-effective shielding solution compared to argon blends. The wire is strictly designed for flat and horizontal positions, taking advantage of a fluid weld puddle that wets out smoothly to produce flat, aesthetically pleasing bead profiles. The slag system is engineered for easy removal, often peeling off on its own, which reduces post-weld cleanup time and labor costs.

This 1/16-inch diameter wire is particularly well-suited for welding thicker plate materials found in railcar manufacturing, shipbuilding, and heavy earth-moving equipment. The larger diameter allows for higher deposition rates, enabling faster travel speeds and increased productivity on long, continuous welds. The X-Pak drum ensures a consistent wire cast and helix, promoting smooth feeding through conduits and minimizing wear on drive rolls and liners. For industrial procurement managers and welding engineers seeking a reliable, high-deposition consumable that tolerates real-world shop conditions, the Hobart FabCO RXR in the 600lb configuration is a strategic choice for maximizing fabrication output.
