The AWS publishes a number of specifications, standards and codes that have been
adopted by many governing bodies and industries. The AWS may be considered to be the
basic source of welding and welding engineering information in the USA. Many other
codes and specifications will include or refer to various AWS Filler Metal Specifications.
Electrode and welding filler metal manufacturers assign the appropriate AWS Classification

Go To Test

to their products wherever possible, as a means of standardization, according to the AWS

Filler Metal Specifications. The specifications prescribe the classification requirements

including such items such as chemical composition of the weld metal, radiographic (X-ray)
soundness tests, weld metal tension tests, impact tests, bend tests, and fillet weld tests
