Hobart Brothers Company to Showcase New Filler Metals at FABTECH 2013
TROY, Ohio. — Hobart Brothers Company announced it plans to showcase the latest of its innovative filler metals at FABTECH 2013, booth N831, November 18 to 21 in Chicago. Of special interest at the show will be three new filler metals: Hobart® FabCOR® F6 gas-shielded metal-cored wire; Hobart Element™ gas-shielded flux-cored wire; and MAXAL® 4943 aluminum wire and TIG cut-lengths. Details on the products include:
• The FabCOR F6 wire provides higher deposition rates and faster travel speeds than solid wires to help increase productivity on single-pass, flat and horizontal welding applications. It is specifically designed for welding on galvanized or thin-gauge steels, and is ideal for automated and mechanized welding on automotive and transportation applications.
• The Hobart Element family of six wires produces manganese emissions well below the levels of other gas-shielded flux-cored wires on the market. Because of the innovative formulation of the flux fill, the wires achieve these low manganese levels without sacrificing mechanical properties or weldability. They also provide very low spatter levels and consistent arc stability, ensuring reliable welding performance on a variety of applications.
• The MAXAL 4943 aluminum MIG wire and TIG cut-lengths are the first aluminum filler metal to classified by the American Welding Society (AWS) for wrought commercial applications in over 40 years. They are also registered by the Aluminum Association and offer high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, along with low hot cracking sensitivity. The filler metals are suitable for elevated temperature applications and provide the ability to reduce weld size without compromising strength.
