Description / Abstract:
Form:
This specification covers a low-alloy steel in the form of
covered welding electrodes.
Application:
Primarily for use as filler metal for metal-arc welding of
low-alloy steels when the deposited weld metal is required to have
heat treating characteristics similar to those of the metals
joined.
Classification:
The electrodes covered by this specification are classified as
follows:
Type A - DC
Type B - DC-AC
When DC is specified, reverse polarity (electrode positive) is
required.
If no type is specified, Type B shall be supplied.
