Scope LAL This specification prescribes requirements for the classification of carbon steel electrodes (solid, composite stranded, and composite metal cored) and rods (solid) for gas metal arc (GMAW), ges mngsten arc (GTAW), and plasma are (PAW) welding. 1.2 Safety and health issues and concems 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 AS and ‘AIO. Safety and health information is available from other sources, including but not limited to ANSI ZA9.1, Safety in Welding, Cutting, and Allied Processes, and applicable federal and state regulations. 1.3 This specification makes use of both U.S. Custorn- ‘ary 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 proper- ties. The specification with the designation AS.18 uses U.S. Customary Units. The specification A5,18M uses SI Unit, ‘The latter are shown within brackets | ] or in appropriate columns in tables and figures. Standard dimensions based om either system may be used for sizing of electrodes or packaging or both under the A5.18 or AS.18M specifica- tions.

Summary of Tests 71 The tests requited for each classification are speci= fied in Table 5. The purpose of these tests isto determine the chemical composition, the mechanical properties, and soundness of the weld metal. The base metal for the weld test assemblies, the welding and testing procedures ¢o be employed, and the results required are given in Sections 9 through 14. See Section A4,2 in the Annex for require- ‘ments for classification based on gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) only. 7.2. The optional test for diffusible hydrogen in Section 15, Diffusible Hydrogen Test, is not required for classifica- tion (see note c of Table 5). 8 Retest If the results of any test fail to meet the requirement, that test shall be repeated twice, The results of both rotests shall moet the requirement. Specimens for retest may be taken from the original test assembly or from one or two new test assemblies. For chemical analysis, test need be only for those specific elements that failed to meet their requirement.

They are as follows: (a) The groove weld in Fig, 1 for mechanical properties ‘and soundness of the weld metal for both composite and solid electrodes (see Section A4.2 in the Annex for require- ‘ments for classification based on gas tungsten arc welding comly), or the groove weld in Fig. 2 for mechanical proper- ties of composite stranded and composite metal cored elee- trodes designated for single pass applications only. {b) The weld pad in Fig. 3 for chemical analysis of the ‘weld metal from composite stranded and composite metal cored electrodes. ‘The sample for chemical analysis of weld metal from ‘composite electrodes may be taken from the reduced sec- tion of the fractured all-weld-metal tension test specimen ‘or from the corresponding location (or any loeétion above it) in the groove weld in Fig. 1, thereby avoiding the need to make a weld pad. In case of dispute, the weld pad in Fig. 3 shall be the referee method. Chemical analysis of weld metal from composite stranded and composite metal cored electrodes designated for single pass applications should not be obtained from the groove weld in Fig, 2 due to the high emiount of base metal dilution, 9.2 Preparation of each weld test assembly shall be as prescribed in 9.3 and 9.4. The base metal for each assembly shall be as required in Table 6 and shall meet the requi ‘ments of the ASTM specification shown there. or an equiv- alent specification. Testing of the assembly shall be as prescribed in 10.2, 10.3, and Sections 11 through 14. 9.3 Groove Weld 9.3.1 For all classifications except E70C-GS(X) [E48C-GS(%)I, a test assembly shall be prepared and ‘welded as specified in Fig. 1, using base metal of the appropriate type specified in Table 6.

The referee method shall be ASTM E 350, 10.4 The results of the analysis shall meet the require- ‘ments of Table 1 for solid electrodes or Table 2 for compos- ite electrodes for the classification of electrode under test 11. Radiographic Test 1.1 The groove weld described in 9.3.1 and shown in Fig. | shall be radiographed to evaluate the soundness of the weld metal. In preparation for radiography, the backing shall be removed and both surfaces of the weld shall be machined of ground smooth and flush with the original surfaces of the base metal or auniform reinforcement not exceeding %2 in. (2.5 mm]. It is permitted on both sides of the test assembly to remove base metal to a depth of Ye in. [1.5 mm] nominal below the original base metal surface in order to facilitate backing and/or buildup removal. Thickness ofthe weld metal shall not be reduced by more than '%¢ in, [1.5 mm] less than the nominal base metal thickness. Both surfaces of the test assembly, in the ‘ea ofthe weld, shall be smooth enough to avoid difficulty in interpreting the radiograph, 11.2. The weld shall be radiographed in accordance with ASTM E 1032, The quality level of inspection shall be 227. 11.3 The soundness of the weld metal meeis the require- ‘ments of this specification if the radiograph shows no cracks, no incomplete fusion, and no rounded indications in excess of those permitted by the radiographic standards in Fig. 4. In evaluating the radiograph, 1 in, [25 mm] fof the weld on each end of the test assembly shall be disregarded, ‘A rounded indication isan indication (on the radiograph) ‘whose length is no more than 3 times its width.

Based ‘upon the average value of test results which satisfy the requirements of Table 7, the optional supplemental diffus- ible hydrogen designator may be added at the end of the ctassification, 15.2. Testing shall be done without rebaking or other- ‘wise conditioning the electrode, unless the manufacturer recommends otherwise. If the electrode is rebaked, thst fact, along with the method used for rebaking, shall be noted on the test report. 15.3.
