9、uides) of the AmericanWelding Society (AWS) are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules of theAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI). When AWS American National Standards are either incorporated in, ormade part of, documents that are included in fede

10、ral or state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other govern-mental bodies, their provisions carry the full legal authority of the statute. In such cases, any changes in those AWSstandards must be approved by the governmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they can become a part

11、ofthose laws and regulations. In all cases, these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other documentthat invokes the AWS standards. Where this contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirementsof an AWS standard must be by agreement between the contra

12、cting parties.AWS American National Standards are developed through a consensus standards development process that bringstogether volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus. While the AWS administers theprocess and establishes rules to promote fairness in the develo

Scope1.1 This specification prescribes requirements for the classification of low-alloy steel electrodes for flux cored arcwelding (FCAW) either with or without shielding gas. Iron is the only

44、 element whose content exceeds 10.5 percent inundiluted weld metal deposited by these electrodes. Metal cored low-alloy steel electrodes are not classified under thisspecification but are classified according to AWS A5.28/A5.28M.11.2 Safety and health issues and concerns are beyond the scope of this

45、 standard and, therefore, are not fully addressedherein. Some safety and health information can be found in the nonmandatory Annex Sections A5 and A9. Safety andhealth information is available from other sources, including, but not limited to, ANSI Z49.12and applicable federal andstate regulations.1

46、.3 This specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the International System of Units (SI). The measure-ments are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other without combining inany way when referring to weld metal properties. The specification

47、with the designation A5.29 uses U.S. CustomaryUnits. The specification A5.29M uses SI Units. The latter are shown within brackets ( ) or in appropriate columns intables and figures. Standard dimensions based on either system may be used for the sizing of electrodes or packaging orboth under the A5.2
