What diamondspark 52 RC flux-cored wire is used for

diamondspark 52 RC is a seamless rutile flux-cored wire for mild steel, suitable for all welding positions, run under M21 or 100 % CO2 shielding gas and rated down to -40 °C.

Among the parent materials it covers S235JR, S355JR, S235JO, S355JO, S450JO, S235J2 and S355J2. The seamless sheath keeps moisture away from the core even after longer storage, and the wire is used in structural steelwork, on tanks, piping and series production.
