Title
Specification for Bare Stainless Steel Welding Electrodes and Rods
American Welding Society
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 2006
Scope:
This specification prescribes requirements for the
classification of bare stainless steel wire, strip, composite metal
cored, and stranded welding electrodes and rods for gas metal arc,
gas tungsten arc, submerged arc, and other fusion welding
processes. The chromium content of these filler metals is not less
than 10.5 percent and the iron content exceeds that of any other
element. For purposes of classification, the iron content shall be
derived as the balance element when all other elements are
considered to be at their minimum specified values.
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 Informative Annex
Clauses A6 and A11. Safety and health information is available from
other sources, including, but not limited to, ANSI Z49.1,
Safety in Welding, Cutting, and Allied
Processes,1 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. The
specification designated A5.9 uses U.S. Customary Units; and the
specification designated A5.9M uses SI Units. The latter units are
shown within brackets [ ] or in appropriate columns in tables and
figures. Standard dimensions based on either system may be used for
sizing of filler metal or packaging or both under A5.9 or A5.9M
specification.
1 ANSI Z49.1 is published by the American Welding
Society, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126.
