Gas-shielded wires formulated to produce low manganese emissions

Hobart has introduced the FabCO® Element™ 71C and 71M gas-shielded, flux-cored wires. According to the manufacturer, the wires are formulated to produce manganese emissions less than those of similarly classified filler metals available in the marketplace.

Both wires offer enhanced out-of-position capabilities, low spatter levels, and easy-to-remove slag, the company states. 71C is formulated to operate with 100 percent CO2 shielding gas, and 71M operates with 75 to 90 percent argon and a balance of CO2. Both are available in industry-standard diameters of 0.045, 0.052, and 1/16 in. on 33-lb. fiber spools.
