Hobart Brothers Offers Family of Metal Cored Wires for High Tensile Strength Applications

TROY, Ohio. September 7, 2006–As part of its premier Tri-Mark® brand of filler metals, Hobart Brothers adds high strength filler metal options to its extensive Metalloy® family of gas-shielded metal cored wires:  Metalloy 90 , Metalloy 100 and Metalloy 110. Designed to give welders comprehensive metal cored wire options when welding high tensile strength steels such as A514, A517, HY-80, and A710 (ranging from 80- to 110-ksi), these wires are ideal for welding castings, heavy equipment, ships, pressure vessels, and offshore oil rigs and platforms.    

Formulated for use with an Argon/CO2 shielding gas mixture, the Metalloy 90, 100 and 110 wires offer excellent Charpy V-Notch (CVN) impact values at temperatures as low as -60 degrees Fahrenheit (Metalloy 90: 41 ft-lbs.; Metalloy 100: 45 ft-lbs.; Metalloy 110: 39 ft-lbs.). Each type of wire is suitable for single- or multi-pass applications and is available in .045-in. and 1/16-in. diameters.   
 
The Metalloy 90, 100 and 110 metal cored wires offer superior bead appearance with minimal spatter and excellent wetting action, along with the ability to bridge part gaps without burn-through.  The wires produce no slag to increase productivity in multi-pass applications by eliminating cleaning between passes, and also offer excellent sidewall and root penetration.
