This group of documents defines the standards for welding consumables used in aluminum fabrication, including electrodes, rods, fluxes, and alloy-specific filler wires. They are used across industries such as construction, aerospace, automotive, marine, and pressure vessel manufacturing, ensuring consistent weld quality, structural integrity, and safety compliance. The listing includes alloy-specific filler metal standards, specifying chemistry and usability for different alloy series. They ensure compatibility with base alloys, mechanical properties of the weld, and resistance to cracking or corrosion. They are used in safety-critical applications, ensuring weld integrity in pressure-containing systems and aerospace structures where strict mechanical and metallurgical requirements apply. They cover fluxes used in aluminum gas welding, covering composition and performance to ensure proper cleaning, wetting, and porosity prevention.

This specification covers an aluminum welding flux in the form of powder.
This specification prescribes requirements for the classification of covered (flux coated) E1100, E3003, and E4043 aluminum-alloy electrodes for shielded metal arc welding. Tests conducted for classification are chemical analysis of the core wire as well as tensile and bend tests from groove weld test assemblies fabricated with each of two sizes of electrode for each classification. Standard electrode sizes, electrode identification, and chemical composition limits are specified. 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.
This specification prescribes requirements for the classification of bare wrought and cast aluminum-alloy electrodes and rods for use with the gas metal arc, gas tungsten arc, oxyfuel gas, and plasma arc welding processes. 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.
