ʻIke maikaʻi ʻia ke kila A588 no kona hiki ke hoʻomaloʻo. Ke hōʻike ʻia i nā kūlana o waho, ʻoi aku ka ikaika o kāna mau ʻano corrosion-resistant, ʻoiai ke pena ʻole ʻia. A588 kila i eha manawa e like me ke kalapona kila. A ʻo A588 ka nui o nā noi e pili ana i ka hoʻouna ʻana a me nā hale kiaʻi kelepona, nā kaʻa ukana, nā alahaka a me nā alaloa a me nā pale kiaʻi ma muli o ka hoʻoponopono ponoʻī ʻana, ʻo ka oxide patina maoli e hōʻemi nui i ka mālama. Mālama pū kēia kila i kahi ratio ikaika-i-kaumaha maikaʻi, e hālāwai ana i nā koi ikaika o ke kila kalapona ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi.
