For alloying, deoxidation and modification of steel and iron
Cored wire is a composite material consisting of a metal outer sheath (usually steel) filled with powders or chemical additives. The product is used for alloying, deoxidation, modification of steel and iron. Its use depends on the industry. In welding the core contains flux or metal powders for structural joining, whereas in metallurgy it acts as a precise dosing tool for refining molten metal. Using cored wire permits reduction of alloying losses and costs, improved metal structure, precise modification, higher productivity and lower energy consumption.
