S282243-002 - Hobart SubCOR N1-S 1/8 Inch Metal-Cored SAW Wire 60lb Coil

Hobart SubCOR N1-S 1/8" Submerged Arc Welding Wire

The Hobart SubCOR N1-S is a premium low-alloy composite metal-cored wire electrode specifically engineered for the submerged arc welding (SAW) process. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication, this wire offers a significant advantage in productivity and weld quality. As a metal-cored electrode, the SubCOR N1-S allows for higher current densities compared to traditional solid wires, resulting in faster travel speeds and increased deposition rates. This makes it an excellent choice for facilities looking to maximize throughput on large-scale projects such as bridge fabrication, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment manufacturing.

Meeting the AWS A5.23 chemistry classification for Ni1, this wire is formulated to deliver welds with tensile strength levels consistently above 70 ksi. It is particularly effective for welding non-alloyed and fine-grain steels, as well as weathering steels in applications where color matching is not a critical requirement. The wire's chemistry ensures robust mechanical properties, including superior toughness at low service temperatures, which is essential for offshore structures and storage tanks exposed to harsh environments. Whether used for single-pass or multi-pass welding, the SubCOR N1-S provides a stable arc and consistent bead profile when paired with the recommended flux.

Packaged in a substantial 60lb coil, this product is designed for continuous operation in automated or semi-automated SAW setups. The 1/8-inch (3.2mm) diameter is optimal for deep penetration and high fill rates in thick plate welding. Industrial fabricators rely on Hobart's consistent manufacturing quality to reduce downtime and rework. By choosing SubCOR N1-S, you are investing in a consumable that balances high-speed performance with the metallurgical integrity required for critical infrastructure projects.

Key Applications:

• Structural and bridge fabrication
