Hobart Brothers introduced Fabshield FE80 and Fabshield FE81 self-shielded flux-cored wires for structural steel, general manufacturing and bridge fabrication. The wires weld ASTM A913 Grade 65 and A572 Grade 65 steels, meeting tensile strengths of 80 ksi while providing the weldability of lower strength wires. Both have low-hydrogen weld deposits under 8 ml per 100 g to reduce or eliminate preheating. Fabshield FE80, for flat and horizontal welding, comes in 2.4-mm-dia. spools. Fabshield FE81 supports all welding positions and is available in 2.0-mm-dia. spools. The wires offer high-impact strength at low temperatures to resist cracking in extreme conditions.
