This specification prescribes requirements for the classification of bare nickel and nickel-alloy welding electrodes, strip electrodes, and welding rods. It includes those compositions where the nickel content exceeds that of any other element.

Abstract

The chemical compositions of more than thirty nickel and nickel-alloy welding electrodes and rods are specified, including ten compositions not previously classified. Major topics include general requirements, testing, packaging and application guidelines.

This specification 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.
