Hobart FabCOR® 86R Metal Cored Wire

FabCOR® 86R: Heavy Equipment Depends On Hobart® Filler Metals

FabCOR® 86R is a high-performance gas-shielded, metal-cored welding wire engineered for maximum productivity and efficiency. With smooth arc characteristics, low smoke, and spatter, it’s ideal for robotic and mechanized welding applications. The product’s low diffusible hydrogen content minimizes the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking, and its versatility makes it compatible with both CV and pulsed welding processes. FabCOR® 86R is suitable for welding non-alloyed and fine grain steels, used in various industries such as steel structures, storage vessels, and rail cars.

Key Features:

• High deposition rates improve productivity.
• Virtually no slag coverage, reducing clean-up time.
• Excellent performance in high-production and robotic welding.
• Smooth arc characteristics ensure consistent weld quality.
• Low diffusible hydrogen content minimizes cracking risks.
• Low smoke and spatter levels enhance operator appeal.
• Suitable for both CV and pulsed welding, promoting versatility
