3. Classification
3.1 Electrode Classification. The welding electrodes covered by this specification utilize the following system to classify
the welding electrodes covered:
(I) Type of current (SeeTable I)
(2) Filler metal type by general chemical composition (See Table 1)
(3) AWS classification of electrode by AWS specification, when applicable (See Table 2)
(4) Weld metal integrity (Y), based on soundness and mechanical properties (See Table 2)
(5) Welding position (Z) (See Table 3)
3.2 Examples of electrode classification. The following are four examples of electrode classification:
(I) tTvF:oo13-2A: Ferritic steel electrode (Table 1), similar to the E60 13 classification of AWS A5. I (Table 2), meeting the Level 2 quality standards (Table 2), qualified for all position welding (Table 3).
(2) UWE7OI4- IF: Ferritic steel electrode (Table 1), similar to the E70 14 classification of AWS A5. I (Table 2), meeting the Level I quality standards (Table 2). qualified for the flat position only (Table 3).
(3) UWF3IO-16-3H: Austenitic stainless steel electrode (Table I), similar to the E3 10-16 classification of AWS A5.4 (Table 2), meeting the Level 3 quality standards (Table 2). qualified for flat and horizontal welding only (Table 3).
(4) UWENiXX-IA: Nickel electrode (Table 1), meeting the Level I quality standard.s (Table 2), qualified for all position welding (Table 3).
7. Auxiliary Coating Integrity
Auxiliary coatings shall be uniform with no breaks or flaking which wouki degrade electrode perlormance. I he auxihary coatings shall be applied so as to provide complete coverage of the electrode. They shall extend from at least 1/16 in jI .5 niml beyond the covering on the grip end and shall completely seal the arc end. The auxiliary coatings shall not interfere with electrical continuity between the electrode and the electrode holder.
8. Summary of Tests
8.1 Testing. Testing for conformance to this specification shall be as required by Tables 4 and 5. This testing represents only the electrode chemical composition and diameter, method of manufacture, and auxiliary coating system tested. Any changes to the electrode chemical composition or diameter, method of manufacture (including electrode core wire and flux formulation), formulation of auxiliary coatings, or any addition or deletion of an auxiliary coating, shall require retesting for conformance to the specification; the modified electrodes shall be identified using a different or modified designation from the original.
All test assemblies shall be tested in the as-welded condition; no form of heating shall be used on any test assembly after welding. Grinding is not permitted on the weld reinforcement except for the purpose of magnetic particle testing (MT) or liquid penetrant testing (PT), and only after the weld has passed visual testing (VT).AWS A5.35/A5.35M pdf download.
