Hobart Brothers Co. has expanded its FabCOR® Element™ family of lowmanganese wires to include the Fab- COR Element 70C6 metal-cored wire. According to the company, extensive testing shows the wire creates among the lowest manganese emissions of similarly classified AWS A5.18 E70C- 6 wires in the marketplace.
The new wire offers increased deposition rates compared to solid wires that allow faster travel speeds, the manufacturer states. It also has been formulated to simplify silicon removal to reduce the need for weld cleanup. The balanced arc characteristics provide a smooth, penetrating transfer and a consistent, high-quality weld, says the company.
This wire provides very low diffusible hydrogen levels to help mitigate the risk for hydrogen-induced cracking. When paired with a 75/25 argon and CO2 shielding gas mixture, it offers 20 ml of diffusible hydrogen per 100 g of weldment. Operating with a 90/10 shielding gas blend yields ≤ 04.0 ml of hydrogen per 100 g of weldment.
