Ebook: Specification for Stainless Steel Flux Cored and Metal Cored Welding Electrodes and Rods

This Specification provides classification and other requirements for numerous grades of flux cored and metal cored stainless steel electrodes and rods and will be benefit welding professionals. 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 next revision 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 of welding, and the external shielding gas required (for those classifications for which one is required). Designations for the 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 guidelines for individual alloys and other useful information about welding electrodes.
