New Generation of T8 Wire from Hobart Brothers Speeds Productivity...

Today, Hobart Brothers introduces a new generation of T-8 welding wire specifically designed to improve productivity on challenging structural steel erection, heavy equipment repair and ship and barge construction applications. The Hobart® Fabshield® XLR-8 is a self-shielded flux-cored welding wire featuring the most reliable out-of-position welding capabilities, at both high and low heat inputs, of any wire in its class. It is especially well suited for vertical-up welds at high current levels.





   


The new Hobart Brothers (www.Hobartbrothers.com) welding wire features lower diffusible hydrogen levels than competitive T-8 wires and meets the new D-Designation under AWS A5.20:2005, making it useable for AWS D1.8 Demand Critical Welds.



Less Rework, Greater Productivity

With productivity-enhancing features, including excellent slag removal, the Hobart XLR-8 welding wire eliminates slag entrapment associated with older generations of T-8 wire and offers high-impact strength at low temperatures to resist cracking and minimize resultant rework.

   


The Hobart Brothers XLR-8 wire also offers a stable arc and a flat bead profile with a large voltage window to improve both operator comfort and productivity in out-of-position welding applications.

   


Low diffusible hydrogen levels allow the XLR-8 wire to produce X-Ray quality welds with greater crack resistance, making it highly suitable for critical welding applications, while moisture-proof packaging makes it reliable for extended storage.

   


Compared to other self-shielded flux-cored wires in its class, the new Hobart XLR-8 welding wire features higher deposition rates, smoother arc transfer and J classification for Charpy impact values.
