Full Description

Classification and other requirements are specified for numerous grades of flux cored and metal cored stainless steelelectrodes and rods. New classifications include a duplex alloy and three high carbon classifications not previously classified.New classifications also include all of the metal cored electrodes that are currently in A5.9/A5.9M. In the nextrevision of A5.9/A5.9M these metal cored electrodes will be deleted from that specification.

Designations for the flux cored electrodes and rods indicate the chemical composition of the weld metal, the position ofwelding, and the external shielding gas required (for those classifications for which one is required). Designations forthe metal cored electrodes indicate the chemical composition of the weld metal only.

The requirements include general requirements, testing, and packaging. Annex A provides general application guidelinesfor individual alloys and other useful information about welding electrodes.
