Ebook: Specification for Bare Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Welding Electrodes and Rods

This Specification prescribes requirements for the classification of bare, wrought and cast aluminum-alloy electrodes and rods for use with the gas metal arc, gas tungsten arc, oxyfuel gas, and plasma arc welding processes and will benefit welding professionals. This Specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the International System of Units (SI). Since these are not equivalent, each system must be used independently of the other.
