Dual Shield 88-C3 is a 1% nickel flux cored wire developed for low temperature impact toughness. It is an excellent choice for welding weathering grade steel, such as Cor-Ten® where W grade electrodes are not desireable. Dual Shield 88-C3 wire is recommended for welding high strength steels in the 70-80 ksi (483-552 MPa) tensile range. The weld metal analysis is similar to an E8018-C3 low hydrogen electrode.
