Frequently Asked Questions

Are your filler metals suitable for high-productivity applications? 

Yes, our metal-cored products and several of our submerged arc metal-cored products, like EM13K-S MOD, are designed for high-productivity applications.

Can your products handle demanding application requirements? 

Yes, many of our metal-cored and submerged arc metal-cored products comply with D1.8 test requirements. A complete list of products that meet D1.8 are listed here: Products | Hobart Brothers

Do your filler metals require special storage considerations? 

Yes, for detailed information we recommend reviewing our storage guidelines: Tubular-Storage-Guidelines.pdf

What factors contribute to deposition rate?

Multiple factors contribute to a product’s deposition rate, including transfer efficiency, wire diameter and, most importantly, wire feed speed (WFS). WFS plays a larger role in your deposition rate since it is directly related to the rate wire is being supplied to the weld joint. A higher WFS equals a higher deposition rate.

Is your filler metal designed to handle mill scale?

Yes, products like Elevate™, Element™ XP and Edge™ XP can weld over mill scale and still maintain quality bead appearance. Their silicon control technology allows for easier post-weld cleaning. These products, along with flux-cored products, can reduce or even eliminate pre-weld cleaning.

How can your Hobart filler metals improve overall weld quality?

Our team will help you choose the right filler metal for your application and optimize your welding parameters. Our products will not only provide you with mechanically sound welds with excellent bead appearance but also help you achieve your production goals as those demands continue to increase.
