Specification for Carbon and Low-Alloy Steel Electrodes for Electrogas Welding
Classification requirements are specified for solid and composite (flux cored and metal cored) electrodes for electrogas welding. The requirements include chemical composition of the electrode for solid electrodes and of weld metal for composite (cored) electrodes, in addition to the mechanical properties and soundness of weld metal taken from a groove weld made with these electrodes using the prescribed welding procedure. Standard electrode sizes, marking, and packaging requirements are included. This specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the International System of Units (SI). Since these are not equivalent, each system must be used independently of the other.
