Description:

Elgacore DWA 55E is a rutile flux cored wire for use with an Ar/CO2 gas shield and deposits a 0.4%

Ni alloyed weld metal designed to meet requirements for very good fracture toughness at

temperatures down to –40°C. The wire has excellent welding characteristics in all positions and very

low fume emission. With its good weld metal ductility and hydrogen content of around 5 ml/100 g,

Elgacore DWA 55E is recommended for high integrity fabrication of medium to heavy sections in

structural steelwork, shipbuilding and pipeline construction.
