Ebook: Specification for Nickel and Nickel-Alloy Welding Electrodes for Shielded Metal Arc Welding

This Specification prescribes the composition, dimensions, soundness, and properties of weld metal from more than 30 classifications of nickel and nickel-alloy covered electrodes and will benefit welding professionals. Major topics include general requirements, testing, manufacturing, identification, and packaging. A guide to using the Specification is included in an annex. 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.
