Description:

Elgacore DW 588 is a rutile flux cored wire for use with a CO2 gas shield and deposits a 0.5% Ni /

0.5% Cr / 0.4% Cu weld metal designed for welding weather-resisting steels similar to Cor-Ten. The

weld metal also resists preferential corrosion in seawater. Elgacore DW 588 is all-positional and runs

with a very stable, smooth arc. The combination of negligible spatter, easily detached slag and

smooth bead finish minimises the need for post-weld dressing and contributes to increased

productivity.
