S246529-002 - Hobart FabCO RXR E70T-1 Flux-Cored Wire 2.5mm 60lb Coil

Hobart FabCO RXR E70T-1 Flux-Cored Welding Wire (2.5mm)

The Hobart FabCO RXR is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed for heavy-duty industrial applications where surface preparation may be less than ideal. Classified as an E70T-1 electrode, this wire is engineered with a sophisticated flux composition containing elevated levels of de-oxidizers. This chemical formulation allows the wire to weld effectively over moderate to heavy mill scale, rust, and other surface contaminants without compromising weld integrity. It is specifically manufactured for use with 100% CO2 shielding gas, providing deep penetration and reliable fusion in structural steel fabrication.

With a substantial diameter of 2.5mm, this wire is intended for high-deposition welding in the Flat and Horizontal positions. It excels in single and multiple pass applications, making it a staple in industries such as railcar manufacturing, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment construction. The 60lb coil packaging is designed for industrial wire feeders, reducing the frequency of spool changes and thereby increasing overall operational efficiency. The wire produces a flat bead profile with excellent slag release, reducing post-weld cleanup time and labor costs.

Technical specifications indicate that the FabCO RXR offers robust mechanical properties consistent with the E70T-1 classification. It provides a stable arc transfer and minimizes spatter when settings are optimized, ensuring consistent quality across long welds. This wire is an optimal choice for fabrication shops looking to balance high productivity with the ability to handle non-pristine base materials.
