Field Erection. Inspection Ready. Ironworker Approved.
Fabshield® FE80 & FE81
Structural steel work leaves no room for shortcuts. As A913 Grade 65 and other 80 KSI higher-strength materials become the new standard, welders are being pushed to deliver more speed without sacrificing integrity. Fabshield® FE80 and FE81 were engineered for exactly that balance.
The Speed You Wish For. The Weldability You Need.
Fabshield® FE80 is built for flat and horizontal welding, delivering smooth travel, high deposition rates, and clean, consistent beads with minimal cleanup. Fabshield® FE81 extends that same performance into all positions, giving welders the control and puddle stability needed for vertical-up and overhead work.
In side-by-side comparisons, both wires maintain quality while outperforming competitive products in travel speed and slag removal—proving that productivity doesn’t have to come at the cost of confidence in the weld.

Quality in Every Bead, Engineered for Modern Structural Steel
Fabshield® FE80 and FE81 give ironworkers the speed they wish for and the weldability they need—without compromising structural integrity, seismic performance, or inspection confidence.
