Contents page 4 The majority of the products described in this catalogue are classified according the fol-
lowing AWS classification systems. Note that metal-cored types for carbon steel and
stainless steel are included in the AWS classifications for solid wires and rods, whereas
other cored wire types are covered by separate AWS classifications.
Below, the coding system of these classifications are briefly described, explaining the
coding applying to the cored wires in this catalogue. For further information, readers are
referred to the appropriate AWS specifications.

steels, low-temperature steels, high strength steels, and creep resistant steels. These
families are all-position rutile, all-position basic, and all-position metal-cored.
Observe following guidelines regarding current and polarity:
- All-position rutile types: DC+. Increase arc voltage by 1-2V when using CO2
- All-position basic types: DC–
- All position metal-cored types: DC+
