This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This specification prescribes requirements for the classification of carbon and low-alloy steel flux cored electrodes for flux cored arc welding (FCAW), either with or without shielding gas, and carbon and low-alloy steel metal cored electrodes for gas metal arc welding (GMAW). Carbon and low-alloy flux cored electrodes had previously been classified solely under AWS A5.20/A5.20M, Specification for Carbon Steel Electrodes for Flux Cored Arc Welding, or AWS A5.29/A5.29M, Specification for Low-Alloy Steel Electrodes for Flux Cored Arc Welding. Carbon and low-alloy steel metal cored electrodes have previously been classified solely under AWS A5.18/A5.18M, Specification for Carbon Steel Electrodes and Rods for Gas Shielded Arc Welding, or AWS A5.28/A5.28M, Specification for Low-Alloy Steel Electrodes and Rods for Gas Shielded Arc Welding. Iron is the only element of the undiluted weld metal deposited by the electrodes classified under this specification whose content exceeds 10.5%.
