Guide to AWS A5.4: Stainless steel electrodes för SMAW
Covered electrode
for manual metal-arc
welding.
Suffix
-15
E 308 -17
Indicates
Compositional type.
C oating type and usability characteristics
For use with DC+only. Usually basic coating. All positions.
-16
For use with DC+and AC. Rutile coating. All positions.
-17
As for -16, but higher sili ca content in coating gives following:
• More of a spray arc and finer rippled bead surface in H-V fillets. • Slower freezing slag permits
improved handling with a drag technique. • Mitre to slight concave H-V fillets • When making vertical-up fillets the slower freezing slag requires slight weave to produce flat profile.
-25
Same coating and type as for -15 but with a mild steel core wire. Flat and horizontal positions only.
-26
Same coating and type as for -16 but with a mild steel core wire. Flat and horizontal positions only.
