This specification prescribes the requirements for classification of solid low-alloy steel electrodes and rods, composite stranded low-alloy steel electrodes, and composite metal cored low-alloy steel electrodes for gas shielded 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 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. A guide is appended to the specification as a source of information concerning the classification system 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.
