Specification for Surfacing Electrodes for Shielded Metal Arc Welding
standard by American Welding Society, 03/24/2010
Full Description
This specification prescribes the requirements for classification of surfacing electrodes for shielded metal arc welding.Classification is based upon the chemical composition of the deposited weld metal except for tungsten carbide electrodeswhere classification is based on the mesh range, quantity, and composition of the tungsten carbide granules. A guideis appended to the specification as a source of information as to the characteristics and applications of the classifiedelectrodes.
