American Welding Society® AWS AS5.5/A5.5M:2014 An American National Standard Specification for Low-Alloy Steel Electrodes for Shielded Metal Arc WeldingAWS A5.5/A5.5M:2014 ‘An American National Standard Approved by the American National Standards Institute April 16, 2014 Specification for Low-Alloy Steel Electrodes for Shielded Metal Arc Welding 10th Edition Supersedes AWS AS.5/A5.5M:2006 Prepared by the American Welding Society (AWS) AS Committee on Filler Metals and Allied Materials Under the Direction of the AWS Technical Activities Committee Approved by the AWS Board of Directors Abstract ‘This specification prescribes the requirements for classification of low-alloy steel covered electrodes used for shielded metal arc welding. The requirements include chemical composition and mechanical properties of weld motal, weld metal soundness, usability tests of electrodes, and moisture tests of the low-hydrogen electrode covering. Requirements for standard sizes and lengths, marking, manufacturing, and packaging are also included Optional supplemental requirements include tests for absorbed moisture in the electrode covering and for diffusible hydrogen in the weld metal ‘This specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the International System of Units ($1. Since these ae not ‘equivalent, each system must be used independently of the other.

When AWS American National Standards are either incorporated in, oF ‘made part of, documents that are included in federal or state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other governmen- tal bodies, their provisions carry the fll legal authority of the statue. In such cases, any changes in those AWS standards ‘ust be approved by the governmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they can bocome a part of those laws and regulations, In all cases, these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other document that invokes the AWS standards. When this contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirements of an AWS stan- dard must be by agreement between the contracting parties. AWS American National Standards aze developed through a consensus standards development process that brings ogether volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus, While the AWS adiainisters the process and establishes rules 1o promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not independently test, evalu ate, o verify the accuracy of any information or the soundness of any judgments contained in its standards.

Ic is assumed that the use ofthis standard and its provisions are entrusted to appropriately qualified and competent personnel. ‘This standard may be superseded by the issuance of new editions. Users should ensure that they have the latest edition, Publication of this standard does not authorize infringement of any patent or wade name. Users of this standard accept any and all abilities for infringement of any patent or trade name items. AWS disclaims liability forthe infringement of any patent or product trade name resulting from the use of this standard.

These electrodes include stee alloys in which no single alloying element exceeds 10.5%. 1.2 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 nonmandatory annex Clauses AS and A1O. Safety and health information is available from other sources, including, but not limited to, ANSI Z49.1, Safety in Welding, Cutting, and Allied Processes, and applicable federal and state regulations. 1.3 This specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the International System of Units (SD. The measurements are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other without ‘combining in any way when referring to material properties. The specification designated A5.S uses U.S. Customary Units; and the specification designated AS.5M 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 A5.5 or AS.SM specification, 2.

The base metal forthe weld test assemblies, the welding and testing pro- cedures to be employed, and the results required are given in Clauses 9 through 15. The supplemental tests for absorbed moisture (see Clause 16) and for diffusible hydrogen (see Clause 17) are not required for classification of the low- hydrogen electrodes (see Note i of Table 5).

They are: (1) The weld pad in Figure 2 for chemical analysis of the weld metal (2) The groove weld in Figure 3 for mechanical properties and soundness of the weld metal forall classifications except ECX)XX18M(1) (3) The fillet weld in Figure 4 forthe usability of the electrode (4) The groove weld in Figure 5, an alternate to (2) above, for mechanical properties and sounclness ofthe weld metal for FOOXX18M(1) electrodes, ‘The sample for chemical analysis may be taken from the reduced section ofthe fractured tension test specimen or from corresponding location (or any location above it) in the weld metal inthe groove weld in Figure 3 ot 5, thereby avoid ing the need to make the weld pad. In case of dispute, the weld pad shall be the referee method, 9.2 Preparation of each weld test assembly shall be as prescribed in 9.3 through 9.5. The base metal for each assembly shall be as required in Table 6 and shall meet the requirements of the ASTM specification shown there or an equivalent specification, Electrodes other than low-hydrogen electrodes shall be tested without conditioning? Low-hydrogen electrodes, if they have not been adequately protected against moisture pickup in storage, shall be held at a temperature within the range 500°F to 800°F [260°C to 430°C] for a minimum of one hour prior ( testing. Testing of assemblies shall be as prescribed in Clauses 10 through 14. 9.3 Weld Pad. A weld pad shall be prepared as specified in Figure 2, except when one of the alternatives in 9.1 (taking. the sample feom the broken tension test specimen or from a corresponding location, or any location above it, inthe weld ‘metal in the groove weld in Figure 3 or 5) is selected. Base metal of any convenient size, ofthe type specified in Table 6, shall be used as the base for the weld pad. The surface of the base metal on which the filler metal is deposited shall be clean. The pad shall be welded in the flat position with multiple layers to obtain undiluted weld metal. ‘The preheat temperature shall not be less than 60°F [15°C] and the interpass temperature shall not exceed 300°F [150°C]. The slag. ‘shall be removed after each pass. The pad may be quenched in water between passes. The dimensions of the completed pad shall be as shown in Figure 2. Testing ofthis assembly shall be as specified in Clause 10. 9.4 Groove Weld 9.4.1 Mechanical Properties and Soundness. A test assembly shall be prepared and welded as specified in Figure 3 ‘or 5 using matching base material (see Table 6) with no buttering, or non-matching base material (see Table 6) buttered as shown in Figure 3(B), of thickness specified in Figure 3 or 5. Preheat and interpass temperatures shall be as specified in Table 7. Testing of this assembly shall be as specified in Clauses 11, 12, and 13. The assembly shall be tested inthe as- Welded condition or the postweld heat treated condition as specified in Table 3, except for the EOQXXXX.G. ° Conaitioning can be considered tobe any special preparation or procedure, such as baking the electrode, which the user would not normally practice.

Ics permitted on both sides of the test assembly to remove base metal to a depth of 1/16 in [1.5 mm] nominal below the original base metal surface in order to facilitate backing and/or ‘buildup removal. Thickness of the weld metal shall not be reduced by more than 1/16 in [1.5 mm] less than the nominal bbase metal thickness. Both surfaces of the test assembly, in the area of the weld, shall be smooth enough to avoid difficulty in interpreting the radiograph. 11.2 The weld shall be radiographed in accordance with ASTM E1032. The quality level of inspection shall be 2-2T. 11.3 The soundness of the weld metal meets the requirements of ths specification if the radiograph shows: (2) no cracks, no incomplete fusion, and no incomplete penetration, and (2) no slag inclusions longer than 1/4 in (6.5 mm] or 1/3 of the thickness of the weld, whichever is greater, oF m0 ‘groups of slag inclusions in line that have an aggregate length greater than tho thicknoss ofthe weld in a length 12 times the thickness ofthe weld, except when the distance between the successive inclusions exceeds six times the ength of the longest inclusion in the group, and.
