I got my hands on 2 boxes of Hobart .045 Dual-shield wire i am looking for the paramaters for this wire like max voltage and wiree speed i can use with it. I dont think they make it anymore, because i can not find anything on the internet about it. If anyone has any info please let me no. Thanks

Reply:Fabco is a good brand.For 045" parameters really depend on the current output of your machine, more so than what brand of wire you're using. For example, when welding flat I run 045" in the range of 500 "/min and 28 volts. But that will draw around 250 amps, and it may look sloppy if don't have practice welding fast. The power supplies at my shop are 450 amps so they run like water at this setting. If you only have a 250 amp power supply you may want to dial it down to about 300-350 "/min and 26-27 volts for flat welds. That's also an easier-to-control setting for a person who's not comfortable welding fast.Vertical-up and overhead welding is where the differences between brands of wire become really noticeable. Some brands of wire will let you weld a lot faster and hotter in vertical-up than others. With uphill welding a good starting point is more or less 24 volts and about 250 ipm. The better brands of wire (ESAB, Kobelco) will let you reliably weld up to 375"/min uphill and 26 volts. Note that increasing the voltage will also increase the fluidity of the puddle and makes it a lot harder to control, but it also makes the weld lay flatter to a certain extent.Parameters will also depend on the material thickness of course. If you're uphill welding something like 3/16", or if you have a bit of gap to fill, you probably don't want to go above 250ipm with .045"Be careful not to get your voltage too high as that causes undercut, which is bad mojo.Last edited by Joshfromsaltlake; 05-20-2012 at 02:03 AM.
Reply:Thanks for the info, I have my feeder hooked to a sam 400 I have plenty of amps and voltage, I think 44 volts is the max for the machine, that sounds about right, I seen triple 7 specs and that was 29volts flat, somewhere around that, and i am running pure CO2.
Reply:I can't find much info over the web about this wire either! That leads me to believe that the XL-71 Wire has been discontinued or they call it something else now. I also have lost track of who has bought out who in the welding field! I also have a couple of 44lb rolls of .045 and .052 I have however found that this wire can be used with both straight CO2 or a mix of Ar/co2. Is a all position wire with both single pass or multi-pass approved. Guess I'll just have to try it and see how it compares to the Lincoln or prostar wire we use at work!Lincoln Ranger8 Hobart Handler 135Hobart Hefty CC/CVIronworkers Local #712 |
