Specification for Low-Alloy Steel Electrodes and Rods for Gas Shielded Arc Welding


This specification prescribes the requirements for classification of solid low-alloy steel electrodes and rods, composite stranded low-alloy steel electrodes and rods, and composite metal cored low-alloy steel electrodes and rods for gas shielded welding processes including gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, and plasma arc welding. Classification is based on chemical composition of the electrode for solid electrodes and rods, chemical composition of weld metal for composite stranded and composite metal cored electrodes and rods and the as-welded or postweld heat treated mechanical properties of the weld metal for each. Additional requirements are included for manufacture, sizes, lengths and packaging. Optional supplemental designators are also included for lower temperature toughness requirements, diffusible hydrogen limits, reduced Mn + Ni levels in Cr-Mo compositions, and shielding gas ranges. A guide is appended to the specification as a source of information concerning the classification sy tem employed and the intended use of the electrodes and rods. This specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the International System of Units (SI). Since these units are not equivalent, each system must be used independently of the other.
