ELGACORE MF™ WELCOMES YOUR CHALLENGES

Elgacore MF™ Characteristics and Advantages

Guaranteed no moisture pick-up

Elgacore MF™ seamless flux- and metal-cored wires

are hermetically sealed and totally insensitive to

moisture absorption, even under extreme climatic

conditions with tropical temperatures and very high

relative humidity. The filling remains dry throughout

the entire process of storage and use in welded

fabrication, preventing hydrogen induced cracking

caused by moisture in the consumable. Elgacore MF

cored wires require no special storage conditions.

Re-drying prior to use is never recommended.

The special Elgacore MF™ manufacturing technology enables production of cored wires with these and other unique advantages for end users.

• Prevention of hydrogen-induced cracking. Weld

metal hydrogen content tested according to EN

and AWS is below 4 ml/100 g weld metal. Typical

values below 3 ml/100 g weld metal.

• No special storage conditions required. Can be

stored like solid wires for an extended period,

with a minimized risk of moisture absorption.

• Resistance to moisture pick-up when mounted

on wire feeder, out of packaging.

• No discontinuities in the filling. Dependable weld

metal properties.

• Copper coating for optimal current transfer

from contact tip to wire and for reduced contact

tip wear.

• Carefully controlled cast, helix and diameter gives

good wire feeding and straight delivery

at contact tip. Ideal for robotic welding.

Elgacore MF™ Production Technology

The unique production technology ITW Welding

utilizes to manufacture Elgacore MF™ seamless flux-

and metal-cored wires results in valuable product

benefits for end users. Strips are folded round, closed

by high frequency welding and drawn to

filling diameter.

In the next step, the tube is filled with agglomerated

flux by means of a vibration system. In several steps

the wire is annealed, drawn to final diameter and

finally copper-coated.

Subsequently, the wire is precision layer-wound

onto various spool sizes. The result is a completely

sealed cored wire with extreme resistance to moisture

absorption during storage and use.

Storage

Elgacore MF™ seamless flux- and metal-cored wires

are hermetically sealed and resistant to moisture

absorption. They can be stored for an extended

period of time, like solid wire. However, they are

copper-coated and direct contact with any liquid

– particularly water – must be avoided to prevent

the formation of rust on the wire surface. Rust is a

potential source of weld metal hydrogen, but it can

also cause poor wire feeding.

It is therefore recommended to store Elgacore MF™

wires in a dry area – away from weather influences –

and in their original packaging. Any sudden drop in

temperature should be avoided to prevent the formation

of condensation. Partly used wire spools must be re-

packed in their original plastic bag, carefully sealed, and

stored in their original cardboard boxes.

Summarized Elgacore MF™ storage and handling recommendations are:

• Store wires under dry conditions in the original

sealed packaging.

• Avoid contact between wire and substances such

as water or any other kind of liquid, vapor, oil,

grease or corrosion.

• Do not touch the wire surface with bare hands.

• Avoid exposure of the wire below dew point.

Do not leave unprotected wire spools in

workshops overnight.
