S249408-029 - Hobart FabCOR 86R .035 Metal Core Wire 33lb Spool

High-Performance Metal Core Wire for Industrial Fabrication

The Hobart FabCOR 86R .035" Metal Core Wire is a premium choice for industrial fabrication sectors requiring high efficiency and robust weld quality. Engineered with a specific formulation of deoxidizing elements, including elevated levels of silicon and manganese, this wire is exceptionally capable of handling base materials with mill scale and rust. This tolerance makes it an indispensable asset in heavy manufacturing environments such as shipbuilding, railcar construction, and general structural fabrication where surface preparation time must be minimized without compromising weld integrity.

Supplied in a standard 33lb spool, the FabCOR 86R is designed for the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW-C) process using Argon/CO2 shielding gas mixtures. It meets AWS E70C-6M classifications, ensuring it delivers consistent mechanical properties suitable for critical applications. The metal-cored design allows for higher current densities than solid wires, resulting in significantly faster travel speeds and higher deposition rates. This translates directly to increased throughput and reduced labor costs for large-scale production runs.

In addition to its speed, the FabCOR 86R provides excellent arc stability and wetting characteristics. The resulting weld beads are smooth and uniform, often requiring little to no post-weld grinding. The low spatter generation further enhances operational efficiency by reducing cleanup time and maintenance on welding gun nozzles. For industrial clients seeking a reliable, high-performance consumable that balances speed, quality, and ease of use on imperfect steel surfaces, the Hobart FabCOR 86R is a superior solution.
