3、e Direction of theAWS Technical Activities CommitteeApproved by theAWS Board of DirectorsAbstractThis specication prescribes the requirements for classication of carbon and low-alloy steel ux cored electrodes for ux cored arc welding and metal cored electrodes for gas metal arc welding. The requirem
4、ents include chemical composition and mechanical properties of the weld metal and certain usability characteristics. Optional, supplemental designators are also included for diffusible hydrogen and to indicate conformance to special mechanical property requirements when the weld metal is deposited u
5、sing low heat input, fast cooling rate and high heat input, slow cooling rate procedures. Additional requirements are included or referenced for standard sizes, marking, manufacturing, and packaging. A guide is appended to the specication as a source of information concerning the classication system
6、 employed and the intended use of carbon and low-alloy steel ux cored and metal cored electrodes.This specication makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the International System of Units (SI). Since these are not equivalent, each system must be used independently of the other.iiAWS A5.36/A5.36M:

10、f the American Welding Society (AWS) are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). When AWS American National Standards are either incorporated in, or made part of, documents that are included in federal o
11、r state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other governmental bodies, their provisions carry the full legal authority of the statute. In such cases, any changes in those AWS standards must be approved by the governmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they can become a part of th
12、ose laws and regulations. In all cases, these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other document that invokes the AWS standards. Where this contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirements of an AWS standard must be by agreement between the contract
13、ing parties.AWS American National Standards are developed through a consensus standards development process that brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus. While AWS administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the developmen
14、t of consensus, it does not independently test, evaluate, or verify the accuracy of any information or the soundness of any judgments contained in its standards.AWS disclaims liability for any injury to persons or to property, or other damages of any nature whatsoever, whether special, indirect, con

In selecting rational metric units, AWS A1.1, Metric Practice Guide for the Welding Industry, and ISO 544, Welding ConsumablesTechnical Delivery Conditions for Filler Materials and FluxesType of Product, Dimensions, To
31、lerances and Markings, are used where suitable. Tables and Figures make use of both U.S. Customary and SI Units, which, with the application of the specied tolerances, provides for interchangeability of products in both the U.S. Customary and SI Units.This AWS A5.36/A5.36M specication utilizes a new
32、, “open classication system” introduced in this document for the classication of carbon and low-alloy steel ux cored and metal cored electrodes. This new classication system facilitates the introduction of new products designed to meet the ever changing requirements of todays market. The open classi
33、cation system uses designators to indicate electrode type (Usability Designator), welding position capability, tensile strength, notch toughness, shielding gas (with more options and new designations), condition of heat treatment, if any, and weld deposit composition. The change to an open classicat
34、ion system was made to allow for the classication of ux cored and metal cored electrodes with classication options which (1) better dene the performance capabilities of the advanced electrode designs that have been developed, and (2) reect the application requirements of todays marketplace. In addit
35、ion, the provision was made in this document for the classication of metal cored electrodes (usability Designator T15) and two new electrode types (Usability Designators T16 and T17) for the classication of metal cored and ux cored electrodes designed for use with AC power sources with or without mo
36、died waveforms. The EXXT-2X classication was discontinued in the 2012 edition. Electrodes previously classied as EXXT-2X can now be classied under the new open classication system without requiring a unique “2” Usability Designator. The EXXT-13 electrode classication was discontinued in the 2012 edi
37、tion due to lack of commercial signicance.The AWS A5.36/A5.36M specication does not preclude the continued classication of carbon and low-alloy steel ux cored electrodes or carbon and low-alloy steel metal cored electrodes to AWS A5.20/A5.20M, AWS A5.29/A5.29M, AWS A5.18/A5.18M, or AWS A5.28/A5.28M,
38、 as applicable. It is recognized that many electrodes classied to the xed requirements of these documents have gained wide acceptance for single and multiple pass applications. A number of the more widely used electrodes falling into this category have been retained in AWS A5.36/A5.36M with their ex
39、isting designations and classication requirements. A listing of these electrode classications with their requirements is given in Table A.1 in the Normative Annex A.viiiAWS A5.36/A5.36M:2016Additional changes to note are: (1) the Mn and Ni requirements for the K11 alloy type have been modied, (2) tw
40、o new alloy types have been added, the K12 for high strength circumferential pipe welding and the K13 which is similar to the K2 alloy type but modied to allow for lower Mn content, (3) the heat input requirements for the “D” optional, supplemental designator for seismic applications have been chang
41、ed to the requirements as specied in AWS A5.20/A5.20M:2005, (4) a protocol was introduced to allow the manufacturer to indicate conformance to impact requirements which are supplemental to and different from those used for electrode classication under this specication, (5) supplemental designators w
42、ere provided to indicate more restrictive requirements for the Mn + Ni content of the B91 and B92 chromium-molybdenum weld deposits, and (6) a restriction was established prohibiting the use of the optional, supplemental diffusible hydrogen designator for self-shielded electrodes which produce weld
43、deposits with greater than 1.3% aluminum content (Refer to A2.5 in Annex A).Additionally, the format of this document has been modied for better clarity. The following items now appear in a Normative Annex: (1) a table listing existing electrode classications having xed requirements which are retain
44、ed in this document, (2) optional, supplemental designators with their requirements, and (3) other special tests not required for classication.The users attention is called to the possibility that compliance with this standard may require use of an invention covered by patent rights. By publication
45、of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the validity of any such claim(s) or of any patent rights in connection therewith. If a patent holder has led a statement of willingness to grant a license under these rights on reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms and conditions to applicants
46、 desiring to obtain such a license, then details may be obtained from the standards developer.Document DevelopmentThis is the rst revision of AWS A5.36/A5.36M specication that was issued initially in 2012.
