PART 2- CWI PREP

FCAW Electrode Identification System

Designates condition of heat treatment which tests were conducted “A” for as welded “P” for PWHT

Classification of electrode use in test (nominal carbon conten 8-16) ie 8 = .08% 16 = .16%

“E” for solid electrode “EC” for composite electrode

FLUX

Tensile Strength in multiples of 10,000 PSI Lowest temparature at which impact strength of weld metal meets or exceeds 20ft-lbs ie 6 = -60F L (low) Mn content M (medium) Mn content H (high) Mn content C (composite) F X X X - E X X X
