AWS A5.29/A5.29M Document Information:
Title
Specification for Low-Alloy Steel Electrodes for Flux Cored Arc Welding
American Welding Society
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 2005
Scope:
This specification prescribes requirements for the classification of
low-alloy steel electrodes for
flux cored arc welding (FCAW) either with or without shielding gas.
Iron is the only element whose
content exceeds 10.5 percent in undiluted weld metal deposited by
these electrodes. Metal cored
low-alloy steel electrodes are not classified under this specification
but are classified according
to AWS A5.28/A5.28M.(Footnote 1)
Safety and health issues and concerns are beyond the scope of this
standard and, therefore, are not
fully addressed herein. Some safety and health information can be
found in the nonmandatory Annex
Sections A5 and A9. Safety and health information is available from
other sources, including, but
not limited to, ANSI Z49.1(Footnote 2) and applicable federal and
state regulations.
This specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the
International System of Units
(SI). The measurements are not exact equivalents; therefore, each
system must be used independently
of the other without combining in any way when referring to weld metal
properties. The
specification with the designation A5.29 uses U.S. Customary Units.
The specification A5.29M uses
SI Units. The latter are shown within brackets [ ] or in appropriate
columns in tables and figures.
Standard dimensions based on either system may be used for the sizing
of electrodes or packaging or
both under the A5.29 and A5.29M specifications.
