Description:

Elgacore DWA 55L is a rutile flux cored wire designed to meet extremely high weld integrity demands

in applications such as offshore fabrication. The micro-alloyed design, in combination with the 1.5%

Ni alloying level, produces exceptionally good fracture toughness down to –60°C. Impact strength is

tolerant to a wide range of heat-input and preheat/interpass conditions. The all-positional wire

operates with a smooth but forceful arc to give very good penetration characteristics when welding

horizontally, combined with high deposition rates when welding vertically up. Elgacore DWA 55L is

extensively CTOD tested from –10°C down to –40°C. Results from 50 & 60mm plate thickness show

CTOD values of 0.40 - 0.80mm at –40°C.
