Sets up requirements for classification and designation systems for electrodes, fluxes and weld metal, and their chemical and physical properties. Also includes requirements for testing, packaging, marking and storage.

This Standard specifies requirements for solid and composite electrodes and fluxes for the submerged-arc welding of carbon steels and carbon manganese steels. It defines classification and designation systems for electrodes, fluxes and weld metal, and specifies their chemical and physical properties. It also specifies, where appropriate, requirements for testing, packaging, marking and storage. NOTES: 1 The electrodes and fluxes specified herein may also be used, under appropriate conditions, for the welding of certain alloy steels. 2 Guidance on the classification system and the selection of electrodes and fluxes is given in Appendix A.
