Hobart introduces gas-shielded flux-cored wires

Hobart has introduced a new gas-shielded flux-cored wire, FabCO 91K2-M, to accompany its reformulated FabCO 91K2-C wire. Both wires are suitable for single- or multipass, all-position welding in offshore, shipbuilding, heavy equipment, and structural fabrication applications.

They feature an H4 designation, indicating they produce a weld deposit with a very low diffusible hydrogen content, which is desirable when welding higher-strength steels. Both wires also feature a J designation that indicates enhanced low-temperature toughness requirements. Users can typically expect good toughness at temperatures as low as -76 degrees F, the company reports.
