Description / Abstract:
Form:
This specification covers a corrosion and moderate heat
resistant steel in the form of covered welding electrodes.
Application:
Primarily for shielded metal-arc welding of parts fabricated
from steels of similar composition, particularly when the weld zone
is required to have strength and corrosion and heat resistance
comparable to those of the parent metal.
Classification:
The electrodes covered by this specification are classified as
follows:
Type A - DC (AWS-15)
Type B - DC-AC (AWS-16)
When DC is specified, reverse polarity (electrode pos~tive) is
required.
If no type is specified, Type A shall be supplied.
