Full Description
AWS A5.10/A5.10M:2017 (ISO 18273:2004 MOD) specifies requirements for classification of solid wires and rods for fusion welding of aluminum andaluminum alloys. The classification of the solid wires and rods is based on their chemical composition.
Safety and health issues and concerns are beyond the scope of this standard and are therefore not fully addressedherein. Some safety and health information can be found in the nonmandatory Annex A Clauses A6 and A13. Safety andhealth information is available from other sources, including, but not limited to, ANSI Z49.1, Safety in Welding, Cutting,and Allied Processes, and applicable federal and state regulations.
This specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the International System of Units (SI). The measurementsare not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other without combining inany way when referring to weld metal properties. The specification A5.10 uses U.S. Customary Units. The specificationwith the designation A5.10M uses SI Units. The latter are shown within brackets [ ] or in appropriate columns in tablesand figures. Standard dimensions based on either system may be used for the sizing of electrodes or packaging or bothunder specification A5.10 or A5.10M.
