TROY, Ohio - Hobart Brothers has expanded its Tri-Mark® Matrix(TM) metal-cored wire offering to include a new diameter size. In addition to .045- and .052-inch diameters, Matrix wire will now be available in a 1/16-inch diameter for welding on applications composed of thicker materials.
Hobart Brothers specifically designed the Matrix wire to maximize performance and increase productivity on high-volume robotic welding applications, particularly those in the heavy equipment manufacturing industry. Matrix features a special formulation that provides uncompromised arc starting and wire feeding consistency, in addition to excellent seam tracking and touch sensing. It has also been proven to extend consumable and liner life, and to eliminate buildup at the drive rolls. The wire's special formulation creates a consistent weld bead shape with excellent crack resistance, minimal silicon islands and reduced spatter. As a result of these features, Matrix wire helps companies reduce downtime for maintenance and post-weld activities like grinding or rework, leading to an increase in productivity, efficiency and quality.
Hobart Brothers offers the Matrix wire on 33-lb. precision layer wound plastic spools, each of which ships in a heat-sealed, Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI)-impregnated bag to protect against contaminants. Matrix wire is also available in the exclusive Hobart Brothers 750-lb. X-Pak drum. The X-Pak features a rubber gasket and has a VCI-impregnated interior to provide additional protection.
