Specification for Nickel-Alloy Flux Cored and Metal Cored Welding Electrodes
This specification prescribes requirements for the classification of flux cored and metal cored nickel-alloy electrodes. For flux cored electrodes, testing determines the chemical composition, mechanical properties, soundness of the weld metal, and the welding position usability characteristics of the electrode using the specified shielding gas. For metal cored electrodes, testing determines the chemical composition, using the chemical compositions specified in AWS A5.14/A5.14M. This specification includes those compositions in which the nickel content exceeds that of any other element, but excludes nickel-base alloy compositions intended for the joining of cast irons. The electrodes classified herein are commonly used in open arc, submerged arc, and electroslag 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.
