3 Classifications
3.1 AWS Classifications (Table 1)
3.1.1 Any filler metal tested and classified as an electrode shall also be considered classified as a welding rod. Filler metal tested and classified only as a welding rod shall not be classified as an electrode.
3.1.2 The electrodes and rods classified under this specification are intended for gas metal arc, gas tungsten arc, oxyfuel gas, and plasma arc welding, but that is not to prohibit their use with any other process for which they are found suitable.
3.1.3 Filler metal containing more than 0.0003% by weight of beryllium shall not be classified as electrode and should not be used as an electrode.
4 Acceptance
Acceptance5 of the material shall be in accordance with the provisions of AWS A5.O1M/A5.01 (ISO 14344 MOD).
5 Certification
By affixing the AWS specification and classification designations to the packaging, or the classification to the product, the manufacturer certifies that the product meets the requirements of this specification.6
6 Rounding-off procedure
For purposes of determining compliance with the requirements of this standard, the actual test values obtained shall be subjected to the rounding-off rules of ASTM E29 or ISO 80000-1, Part 1: General (the results are the same). If the measured values are obtained by equipment calibrated in units other than those of the specified limit, the measured values shall be converted to the units of the specified limit before rounding off If an average value is to be compared to the specified limit, rounding off shall be done only after calculating the average. An observed or calculated value shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the last right-hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting values. The rounded-off results shall fulfill the requirements for the classification under test.
7 Summary of tests
The tests required for each classification are specified in Table 2. The purpose of these tests is to determine the chemical composition of the filler metal, soundness of the weld metal produced by gas metal arc welding electrodes, and the deposition characteristics of welding rods. The base metal for the weld test assemblies, the welding and testing procedures to be employed, and the results required are given in Clauses 9 through 12.AWS A5.10/A5.10M pdf download.
