2、997Specification forCarbon Steel Electrodes and Fluxesfor Submerged Arc WeldingSupersedes ANSI/AWS A5.17-89Prepared by theAmerican Welding Society (AWS) A5 Committee on Filler MetalsUnder the Direction of theAWS Technical Activities CommitteeApproved by theAWS Board of DirectorsAbstractThis specific

3、ation provides requirements for the classification of solid and composite carbon steel electrodes andfluxes for submerged arc welding. Electrode classification is based on chemical composition of the electrode for solidelectrodes, and chemical composition of the weld metal for composite electrodes.

4、Flux classification is based on the me-chanical properties of weld metal produced with the flux and an electrode classified herein. Other requirements includesizes, marking, manufacturing and packaging. The form and usability of the flux are also included.This specification makes use of both U.S. Cu

5、stomary Units and the International System of Units (SI). Since these arenot equivalent, each system must be used independently of the other.Key Words Carbon steel electrodes, submerged arc flux crushed slag, welding electrodes, filler metal specification, mild steel, solid electrode, composite elec

9、 (R2007)Statement on the Use of American Welding Society StandardsAll standards (codes, specifications, recommended practices, methods, classifications, and guides) of the AmericanWelding Society (AWS) are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules of theAmer

10、ican National Standards Institute (ANSI). When AWS American National Standards are either incorporated in, ormade part of, documents that are included in federal or state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other govern-mental bodies, their provisions carry the full legal authority of the st

11、atute. In such cases, any changes in those AWSstandards must be approved by the governmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they can become a part ofthose laws and regulations. In all cases, these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other documentthat invokes the A

12、WS standards. Where this contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirementsof an AWS standard must be by agreement between the contracting parties.AWS American National Standards are developed through a consensus standards development process that bringstogether volunteers r

13、epresenting varied viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus. While AWS administers the processand establishes rules to promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not independently test, evaluate, orverify the accuracy of any information or the soundness of any judgments contained

14、 in its standards.AWS disclaims liability for any injury to persons or to property, or other damages of any nature whatsoever, whetherspecial, indirect, consequential or compensatory, directly or indirectly resulting from the publication, use of, or relianceon this standard. AWS also makes no guaran

15、ty or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any informationpublished herein.In issuing and making this standard available, AWS is neither undertaking to render professional or other services for oron behalf of any person or entity, nor is AWS undertaking to perform any duty owed by any pers

16、on or entity to someoneelse. Anyone using these documents should rely on his or her own independent judgment or, as appropriate, seek theadvice of a competent professional in determining the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances.This standard may be superseded by the issuance of new

17、 editions. Users should ensure that they have the latest edition.Publication of this standard does not authorize infringement of any patent or trade name. Users of this standard acceptany and all liabilities for infringement of any patent or trade name items. AWS disclaims liability for the infringe

18、ment ofany patent or product trade name resulting from the use of this standard.Finally, AWS does not monitor, police, or enforce compliance with this standard, nor does it have the power to do so.On occasion, text, tables, or figures are printed incorrectly, constituting errata. Such errata, when d

19、iscovered, are postedon the AWS web page (www.aws.org).Official interpretations of any of the technical requirements of this standard may only be obtained by sending a request,in writing, to the appropriate technical committee. Such requests should be addressed to the American Welding Society,Attent

20、ion: Managing Director, Technical Services Division, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126 (see Annex B).With regard to technical inquiries made concerning AWS standards, oral opinions on AWS standards may be rendered.These opinions are offered solely as a convenience to users of this standard, and

21、 they do not constitute professionaladvice. Such opinions represent only the personal opinions of the particular individuals giving them. These individualsdo not speak on behalf of AWS, nor do these oral opinions constitute official or unofficial opinions or interpretations ofAWS. In addition, oral

22、opinions are informal and should not be used as a substitute for an official interpretation.This standard is subject to revision at any time by the AWS A5 Committee on Filler Metals. It must be reviewed everyfive years, and if not revised, it must be either reaffirmed or withdrawn. Comments (recomme

23、ndations, additions, or dele-tions) and any pertinent data that may be of use in improving this standard are required and should be addressed toAWS Headquarters. Such comments will receive careful consideration by the AWS A5 Committee on Filler Metals andthe author of the comments will be informed o

24、f the Committees response to the comments. Guests are invited to attendall meetings of the AWS A5 Committee on Filler Metals to express their comments verbally. Procedures for appeal ofan adverse decision concerning all such comments are provided in the Rules of Operation of the Technical Activities

25、Committee. A copy of these Rules can be obtained from the American Welding Society, 550 N.W.

In selecting rational metric units, ANSI/AWS A1.1, Metric Procedure Guide for theWelding Industry, is used where suitable.

27、 Tables and Figures make use of both U.S. Customary and SI Units, which,with the application of the specified tolerances, provides for interchangeability of products in both U.S. Customary andSI Units. Paragraphs, Tables, and Figures which carry the suffix letter “U” are applicable only to those pro

28、ducts classifiedto the system based upon U.S. Customary Units under the A5.17 specification. Those which carry the suffix letter “M”are applicable only to those products classified to the system based upon the International System of Units (SI), underthe A5.17M specification.The only significant cha
