This is the fourth revision of the document originally issued in 1965. That document was sued jointly by the American Welding Society and the American Society for Testing and Materials. The practice of issuing filler metal specifications as joint AWS/ASTM documents was discontinued shortly after the original version of this specification was issued. The 1969 revision, published by AWS, was accepted by the American National Standards Institute as an ANSI staudard.

Scope This specification preseribes requirements for the classification of carbon steel electrodes (both solid and composite) and fluxes for submerged are welding Section A General Requirements 2. Classification 2.1 The welding electrodes and fluxes covered by the specification are classified according to the following: (1) The mechanical properties of the weld metal obtained with a combination of a particular flux and a particular clastification of electrode, as specified in Tables 5 and 6 (2) The condition of heat treatment in which those Properties are obtained, as specified in 8.4 (and shown in Figure 1) (3) The chemical composition of the electrode (far solid electrodes) as specified in Table 1, or the weld metal produced with a particular flux (for composite electrodes) a5 specified in Table 2 2.2 Electrodes classified under one classification shall not be classified under any other classification in this specification, except that solid electrodes meeting the chemical composition requirements of both the B18 and EL12 classifications (Table 1) may be given both classifications. Fluxes may be classified under any number of classifications, for weld metal in either or both the as-welded and postweld heat treated conditions, or wsing different electrode classi fications. The classification system is shown in Fig ure 1 2.3 The electrodes and fluxes classified under this specification are intended for submerged are weld ing, but that is not to prohibit their use with any other process for which they are found suitable 3. Acceptance Acceptance of the materials shall be in accordance With the provisions of the latest edition of AWS: ASOL, Filler Metal Procurement Guidelines: (see ‘Appendix 3), 4.

Weld Test Assemblies 8.1 No weld test assemblies are required for classifi- cation of solid electrodes. One weld test assembly is required for classification of composite clectrodes. It is the weld pad in Figure 2 for chemical analysis of the fow dilution weld metal. In addition to the above, one weld test assembly is required for each classification of an electrode-flux combination. This is the groove weld in Figure 3 for mechanical properties and soundness of the weld metal. Note ¢ to Table 2 allows the sample for chemi- ccal analysis in the case of a composite electrode to be taken from a low dilution area in the groove weld, Figure 3, or from the fractured tension test specimen, Figure 3, thereby avoiding the need to make the weld pad. In case of dispute, the weld pad shall be the referee method. When a Certificate of Test is pre- pared, it shall indicate whether the groove weld o the pad was used for chemical analysis. 8.2 The preparation of each weld test assembly shall be as prescribed in 8.3 and 8.4. The base metal for each assembly shall be as required in Table 4 accord- ing to the tests to be conducted and shall meet the requirements of the appropriate ASTM specification shown in Table 4, or an equivalent specification. Testing, of the assemblies shall be as prescribed in sections 9 through 12. 8.3 For composite electrodes only, a weld pad shall be prepared as specified in Figure 1, Base metal of any convenient size, of the type specified in Table 4, shall be used as the base metal for the weld pad The surface of the base metal on which the filler metal is deposited shall be clean, The pad shall be welded in the Mat position, three passes per layer, four layers high, using the flux for which classification of the electrode is intended. The preheat temperature shall not be less than 60°F (15°C) and the interpass tem- perature shall not exceed 325°F (163°C). The slag shall be removed after each pass. The pad may be quenched in water between passes, Testing of this assembly shall be as specified in section 9 8.4 For classification of an electrode.finy combina tion, a test assembly shall be prepared and welded as specified in Figure 3 using base metal of the appro- Priate type specified iu Table 4. Testing shall be as specified in sections 9, 10, 11, and 12, with the assem bly in either the as-welded or the postweld heat treated condition, according to the classification of the weld metal (See Figure 1). When the tests are 10 be conducted in each condition (as-welded and post Weld hcat treated), two such assemblies, or one single assembly of sufficient length to provide the speci- ‘mens required for both conditions shall be prepared In this case, the single assembly shall be cut trans. verse to the weld into two picces; one of the pieces shall be tested in the as-welded condition, and the other piece shall be heat treated. The weld metal for heat treatment chall be heat treated at 1150 + 25°F (621 = 14°C) for one hour (-0 +15 minutes). The furnace shall be at a temperature not higher than 600°F (316°C) when the test assembly is placed in i ‘The heating rate, from that point to the 1150 + 25°F (621 & 14°C) holding temperature, shall not exceed 40°F (22°C) per hour. When the holding time has been completed, the assembly shall be allowed to coo! in the furnace to a temperature below 600°F 316°C) at a rate not exceeding 350°F (194°C) per hour. The assembly may be removed from the fur- nace at any temperature Delow 90°F (316°C) and allowed 10 cool in still air, to room temperature. 9. Chemical Analysis 9.1.

Appendix Guide to ANSI/AWS A5.17-89, Specification for Carbon Steel Electrodes and Fluxes for Submerged Arc Welding (This Appendix is not a part of ANSIVAWS A3.17-89, Specification Jor Carbon Steel Electrodes and Fluxes for Submerged Are Welding, Al. Introduction ‘The purpose of this guide is to correlate the elec trode and Tux classifications with their intended applications so the specification can he used affro- lively. Reference to appropriate base metal specifica- tions is made whenever that can be done and when it would be helpful. Such references are intended only as examples rather than complete listings of the base metals for which each electrode and flux combina: tion is suitable A2. Classification System A2.1 Classification of Electrudes, The syscet for identifying the electrode classifications in this specifi- cation follows the standard pattern used in other AWS filler metal specifications. The letter “E” at the beginning of each classification designation stands foe electrode The remainder af the designation indi- cates the chemical composition of the electrode, or, in the case of composite electrodes, of the low dilu- ton weld metal obtained with a particular flux, See Figure 1 The letter “L" indicates that the solid electrode is comparatively low in manganese content. The letter but is included for information purposes only.) “MC indicates a medium manganese content, while the letter “H” indicates a comparatively high manga nese content, Ihe one o two digits following the manganese designator indicate the nominal carbon content of the clectrode. The letter “K". which appears in some designations, indicates that the clec- trode is made from a heat of silicon-killed steel. Solid electrodes are classified only on the basis of their chemical composition, as specified in Table 1 of this specification A composite electrode is indicated by the letter “C” after the “E”, and a numerical suffix. The composi tion of a composite electrode is meaningless and the user is therefore referred to weld metal composition (Table 2) with a particular flux, rather than to elec- trode composition A2.2 Classification of Fluxes. Fluxes are classified con the basis of the mechanical properties of the weld metal they produce with some certain classification of electrode, under the =p for in Section B of this specification, As examples of flux classifications, consider the Following: F6A0-EHI4 FTP6-EMI2K FIP4-ECL Fic test conditions called The pretix “F” designates a flux. 1his is followed by a single digit representing the minimum tensile strength required of the weld metal in 10 000 si increments. When the letter “A” follows the strength designa- toi, iC indicates that the weld metal was tested (and is classified) in the as-welded condition. When the letter “p" follows the strenath designator, it indicates that the weld metal was tested (and is classified) after postweld heat treatment called for in the specifica tion. The digit thar follows the A or P will he a number or the letter “Z". This digit refers to the ‘impact strength of the weld metal. Specifically, it des ignates the temperature at (and above) which the weld metal meets, or exceeds, the required 20 ft-1b 273) Charpy V-notch impact strength (except for the letter Z, which indicates that no impact requirement is specified ~see Table 6). These mechanical property designations are followed by the designation of the electrode used in classifying the flux (see Table 1). The suffix (EH14, EMI2K, ECI, etc.) included after the hyphen refers to the electrode classification with which the flux will deposit weld metal that meets the specified mechanical properties when tested as called for in the specification, It should be noted that flux of any specific trade designation may have many classifications. The num. ber is limited only by the number of different elec trode classifications and the condition of heat treat ‘ment (as-welded and postweld heat-treated) with which the flux can meet the classification require- ments, The flux marking lists at least one, and may list all, classifications to which the flux conforms, Solid clectrodes having the same classification are interchangeable when used with a specific flux; com. posite electrodes may not be. However, the specific usability (or operating) characteristics of various fluxes of the same classitication may differ in one respect or another. A3. Acceptance Acceptance of all welding materials classified under this specication isin accordance with the lat- tstedition of AWS A5.O1, Filler Metal Procurement Guidelines, as the specification states. Any testing @ purchaser ‘requires of the supplier, for material Shipped in accordance with this specification, shal be clearly stated in the purchase order, according to the provisions of AWS A5.01. In the absenes of any such Statement in the purchase order, the supplier may ship the material with whatever testing is normally conducted on material of that classification, as spect fied in Schedule F, Table 1, of AWS AS.O1. Testing in accordance with any other Schedule in that Table must be specifically required by the purchase order. In such cases, acceptance of the material shipped will be in accordance with those requirements. Ad, Certification The act of placing the AWS specification and clas sification designations on the packaging, enclosing the product or the classification on the product itseif, constitutes the supplier’s (manufacturer's) certifica- tion that the product meets all of the requirements of the specification. ‘The only testing requirement implicit in this “ecrti- fication” is that the manufacturer have actually con ducted the tests required by the specification on material that is representative of that being shipped and that the material met the requirements of the specification. Representative material, in this case, is any production run of that classification using the same formulation. “Certification” is not to be con- strued 1 mean that tests of any kind were necessarily conducted on samples of the specific material shipped. Tests on such material may or may not have been made. The basis for the certification required by the specification is the classification test of “repre-
