Printed in the United States of America Il Foreword AWS FMC:2000, Filler Metal Comparison Charts, is the
7、 tenth revision of this popular comparison of trade names of welding electrodes and rods. A5.0-57 listed the products of sixty one companies producing material conforming to the various classifications of twelve AWS filler metal specifications. Subsequent revisions in 1959, 1966, 1971, 1978, 1980, 1
8、983, 1986, 1989 and 1993 reflect the growth of the filler metal market, The American Welding Society receives many inquiries concerning filler metals and their classifications. The following questions are most often asked: l. What is the classification of Brand X? 2. Is Brand X in the same classific
9、ation as Brand Y? 3. Who makes, or supplies, these brands? To provide a single comprehensive source for this type of information, the American Welding Society publishes the Filler Metal Comparison Charts. These charts constitute a cross-reference between the AWS filler metal classifications and the
10、brand name designations used by the suppliers. While the individual charts are extensive, it is recognized that they are not all-inclusive. There are filler metals available that may conform to AWS specifications, but the manufacturers chose not to supply the required information. The “G” classifica
11、tion indicates that the filler metal is of a general classification. It is general because not all of the particular requirements specified for each of the other classifications are specified for the specific classification. The intent in establishing this classification was to provide a means by wh
12、ich filler metals that differ in one respect or another (chemical composition, for example) from all other classifications (meaning that the composition of the filler metal - in the case of the example-does not meet the composition specified for any of the classifications in the specification) can s
13、till be classified according to the specification. The purpose is to allow a useful filler metal-one that otherwise would have to await a revision of the specification-to be classified immediately, under the existing specification. CONSUMERS ARE ADVISED THAT TWO FILLER METALS WITH THE SAME “G” CLASS
14、IFICATION MAY BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT. BRAND W SHOULD NOT BE USED TO REPLACE BRAND “A” WITHOUT A THOROUGH COMPARISON OF PROPERTIES OF BOTH FILLER METALS. I I Information regarding brand names and their classifications was obtained from the suppliers and subsequently verified by them. Names, addre
15、sses, and telephone numbers of suppliers, where available, appear at the end of the charts. THE INFORMATION IN THESE COMPARISON CHARTS HAS BEEN OBTAINED FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER OF THE PARTICULAR FlLLER METAL AT THE TIME OF ISSUE. therefore, THE AMERICAN WELDING SOCIETY ASSUMES NO RESPONSIB
16、ILITY FOR THE ACCURACY OF THE LISTINGS. FILLER METALS ARE NOT “APPROVED” BY THE AMERICAN WELDING SOCIETY. THE MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER SHOULD BE CONSULTED REGARDING CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE TO SPECIFICATIONS AND AVAILABILITY OF EACH ITEM. Filler metals are grouped according to AWS filler metal sp
17、ecification, which are listed in numerical order. The filler metals classifications are in the order in which they appear in their respective specification. The flux-electrode combination listings for AWS A5.17 and AWS A5.23 are ordered by chemical composition first, then by strength, heat treatment
18、, etc. . 111 Two other method of entering the charts are available. If the AWS classification designation of the desired filler metal is known, the appropriate page number can be obtained from the Index of AWS Classification designations. If the brand name is known, the page or pages on which that b
19、rand appears can be found in the Index of Brand Names. Information concerning the manufacturing requirements, usability, and the mechanical, chemical, and other properties of a filler metal must be obtained from the respective AWS filler metal specification. In cases where written assurance of speci
20、fication compliance or manufacturing controls is desired (or must be documented), the user must consult the manufacturer. Comments concerning this publication are invited, both from users and from organizations wishing to have filler metals listed. Correspondence should be addressed to the Managing

30、32232 Bq2 AWS Classification System The AWS classification system provides means of identifying filler metals, fluxes, consumable inserts, and tungsten electrodes that meet the requirements of AWS specifications. Although a full explanation of the system and its symbols is beyond the scope of this d
31、ocument, the outline given below will provide a brief summary of the general scheme. For complete details, the pertinent specification should be consulted. Prefix Letters Prefix letters used to indicate a product form, the joining process, or both are as follows: E R ER EC EW B RB RG F IN Indicates
32、an arc welding electrode, which, by definition, carries the arc welding current. Indicates a welding rod which is heated by means other than by carrying the arc welding current. Indicates a filler metal which may be used either as an arc welding electrode or as a welding rod, Indicates a composite e
33、lectrode. Indicates a (nonconsumable) tungsten electrode. Indicates a brazing filler metal. Indicates a filler metal that may be used as a welding rod or as a brazing filler metal, or both. Indicates a welding rod to be used in oxyfuel gas welding. Indicates a flux for use in submerged arc welding.
34、Indicates a consumable insert. Symbols Following the Prefix Classification symbols that follow the prefix are based on criteria that best evaluate the welding capabilities of the filler metal for the applicable process. These criteria include (a) chemical composition of filler or weld metal, (b) wel
35、d metal mechanical properties, (c) certain process parameters or combinations of all factors or both. The classification system also varies with the major specification requirements.

Mild and Low Alloy Steel Covered Electrodes For mild and low alloy steel cov
37、ered electrodes, the prefix E is followed by a number series which indicates minimum strength level, position capability, type of covering, and welding current. The following paragraph and table explains how the number series is used in AWS A5.1-91. Only applies to electrodes found in AWS A5. l. Pre
38、sently, H16, H8, and H4 only apply to AWS A5.1 and A5.23. vi The letter E designates an electrode. The first two digits, 60, for example, designates tensile strength of at least 60 ksi for the weld metal, in the as-welded condition. The third digit indicates the position in which satisfactory welds
39、can be made with the electrode. Thus, the “1” as in E6010, means that the electrode is satisfactory for use in all positions (flat, vertical, overhead, and horizontal), The “4” as in E7048, indicates the electrode is suitable for the flat position and also for vertical-down welding and for other pos
40、itions (see table). The last two digits taken together indicate the type current with which the electrode can be used and the type of covering on the electrode, as listed in the following table.

Electrodes of the E6022 classification are for single-pass welds. Stainless Steel Electrodes The three digit numbers that follow the prefix E or ER in A5.4,
46、A5.9, or A5.22 indicate the chemical composition in the manner used by the AIS1 stainless steel alloy designations. In addition, letters or numbers may be used to indicate composition modifications. Nickel, Copper, and Titanium Alloys The designations for nonferrous product classifications such as t
47、he nickel alloys in AWS A5.1 1 and AWS A5.14; copper alloys in AWS A5.6, AWS A5.7, and AWS A5.27; and titanium alloys in AWS A5.16 follow the prefix as a list of chemical symbols of the elements considered significant in identifying the classification; for example, ECuSi, ECuNi, ERNiCrFe, ERNiCrMo,
48、ERTi, etc. This pattern is also followed for the surfacing welding rods and electrodes in AWS A5.13 and AWS A5.21. vii Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys The specification for aluminum and aluminum alloy bare electrodes and rods, AWS A5.10, uses the Aluminum Association alloy designations after the ER pre
49、fix. The specification for aluminum and aluminum alloy arc welding electrodes, AWS A5.3, uses the E prefix to indicate a covered electrode with chemical composition equivalent to Aluminum Association alloy designations I1 00, 3003, and 4043. Tungsten and Tungsten Alloys The designations that follow the prefix E in A5.12, either WP, Wh, or WZr, indicate pure tungsten, thoriated tungsten, or zirconiated tungsten, respectively. The numeral at the end of some classifications indicates a different chemical composition or product within the specific group. Magnesium Alloys The designati
