Insimbi ye-A588 yaziwa kakhulu ngekhono layo lesimo sezulu. Uma ivezwe ezimeni zangaphandle, izakhiwo zayo ezimelana nokugqwala ziba namandla, ngisho noma zingapendiwe. Insimbi ye-A588 inokumelana nokugqwala okuphindwe kane kune-carbon steel. Futhi i-A588 inezinhlobonhlobo zezinhlelo zokusebenza ezihlanganisa imibhoshongo yokudlulisela kanye nefoni, izimoto zezimpahla, izakhiwo zebhuloho nemigwaqo emikhulu kanye nezinsimbi zokuqapha ngenxa yokuzilungisa, i-patina ye-oxide yemvelo inciphisa kakhulu ukulungiswa. Le nsimbi futhi igcina isilinganiso esihle kakhulu samandla nesisindo, ihlangabezana nezidingo zamandla ensimbi ye-carbon kuyilapho inesisindo esincane kakhulu.
