Description:

Elgacore MXA 55T is an all-positional metal cored wire producing a 1.7% Ni alloyed weld metal with

very good fracture toughness down to –60°C. It is specially designed for single-sided welding, but is

equally suitable for multi-pass applications in thick plate, utilising its excellent deep penetration

characteristics in the spray transfer current range. Fillet welds have a mitre profile and root runs

against ceramic backing leave a smooth bead without risk of slag entrapment. The wire runs with a

very stable, spatter-free arc, even under dip transfer conditions at welding currents as low as 50 A.

Elgacore MXA 55T is highly suitable for offshore construction. Elgacore MXA 55T is CTOD tested
