Description / Abstract:
Form: This specification covers a corrosion and heat resistant
steel in the form of covered weldingelectrodes
Application: Primarily for shielded-metal-arc welding of parts
fabricated from steels of similar or dissimilar composition,
particularly when the weld zone is required to have corrosion and
heat resistance comparable to those of the parent metal.
Classification: Electrodes covered by this specification are
classified as follows:
Type A - DC (AWS-15) Flat, Vertical, Overhead, and
Horizontal
Type B - DC-AC (AWS-16) Flat, Vertical, Overhead, and
Horizontal
Type C - DC (AWS-15) Horizontal Fillets, Flat
Type D - DC-AC (AWS-16) Horizontal Fillets, Flat
When DC is specified, reverse polarity (electrode positive) is
required.
Lime type coverings are required for Types A and C
electrodes.
Type "A" electrodes shall be supplied unless another type
electrode is ordered.
