Excess spatter slows you down. Minimize downtime with precisely formulated Hobart welding wire and stick electrodes. Low spatter levels and excellent weld strength are just some of the reasons why Bad Boy Mowers® depends on Hobart. So can you.
Bad Boy Mowers makes the toughest mowers on the planet. See why their frames and decks are bound together with Hobart filler metals.
Whether it’s a welding wire or stick electrode, the base material, joint design and more impact the choice of filler metal. Learn how to make the best selection.
Weld cracking can happen when stick, MIG or flux-cored welding. Reduce the risk by understanding the causes and how to fix them. Learn how.
Shielding gas affects arc quality and stability, as well as a filler metal’s mechanical properties. Learn how it plays a role in welding performance.
Implementing a new welding wire can be a cost-effective way to improve a welding operation and yield long-term benefits. Learn why you should change — and how to do it.
Stick welding, while slower than wire processes, is particularly helpful in fabrication applications with restricted joint access. Learn some basic guidelines to get the best results.
Successful aluminum fabrication requires cleanliness and the appropriate filler metal. Learn how new aluminum welding wire technology increases weld strength and helps prevent failures.
This gas-shielded flux-cored welding wire features a stable, spray-like arc that produces a high-quality bead appearance. Low spatter levels and easy slag removal reduce cleanup and improve productivity in fabrication applications.
