    This document discusses electrode classification standards for shielded metal arc welding and flux-cored arc welding. It outlines the ANSI/AWS standards for classifying SMAW electrodes based on material composition and mechanical properties. Common SMAW electrode types like E7018 are explained. The classification system for FCAW electrodes according to AWS A5.20 and A5.29 standards is also presented. Advantages of flux-cored arc welding like higher deposition rates and penetration compared to SMAW are summarized.

    Advantages
    High deposition rates
    Deeper penetration

    than SMAW
    High-quality
    Less pre-cleaning
    than GMAW
    Slag covering helps
    with larger out-ofposition welds
    Self-shielded FCAW
    is draft tolerant.
