Abstract

Defines requirements for the classification and certification of: a) carbon steel covered electrodes for shielded metal arc welding (SMAW); b) chromium and chromium-nickel steel covered electrodes for SMAW, including electrodes designated for welding heat-resistant steels containing more than 11% chromium and less than 50% nickel; c) low alloy steel covered electrodes for SMAW; d) wire electrodes and deposits for gas-shielded metal arc welding (GMAW) of non-alloy and fine- grain steels; e) wire electrodes, rods, and deposits for GMAW, gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), and submerged arc welding (SAW) of chromium and chromium-nickel steel; f) wire rods and deposits for GTAW and plasma arc welding (PAW) of carbon and low alloy steels; g) carbon and low alloy steel electrodes for flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) and metal-cored arc welding (MCAW); h) chromium and chromium-nickel steel electrodes for FCAW and MCAW; i) fluxes and solid carbon steel electrodes for SAW; and j) fluxes and composite carbon steel electrodes for SAW.
