Description / Abstract:
Form:
This specification covers a corrosion-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-resistance comparable to
those of the parent metal.
Classification:
Electrodes covered by this specification are classified as
follows:
Type A - DC (AWS E630-15)
Type B - DC-AC (AWS E630-16)
When DC is specified, reverse polarity (electrode positive) is
required.
If no type is specified, Type A electrodes shall be
supplied.
