AL. Introduction This guide was designed to correlate the rod classifica tions with the intended applications so the specification can be used effectively. Such correlations are intended as ‘examples rater than complete listings ofthe materials for, which each filler metal is suitable A2, Classification System A241 Thesystem feridentitying the rodclassificationsin this specification follows the standard pattern used in other AWS filler metal specifications. The letter "Rat the ‘beginning ofeach classification designation stands for rd. The digits (45, 60, 65, and 100) designate a minimum tensile strength ofthe weld metal, inthe nearest thousands ‘of poundsper square inch, depositedinaccondance withthe test assembly preparation section of this specification. A22_ “G" Classification A221 This specification includes filler metals clas sified #s RXXX.G, The "G" indicates thatthe filler metal isofa"general” clesification, Its general because not all of the particular requirements specified for each of the other classifications are specified for this classification The intent in establishing this classification isto provide a means by which filler metals that differ in one respect or another (chemical composition, for example) from all Copy by the Ameian Nellng Soci Thu Hy 05 17:1805 1998 filler meta, inthe case of the example, docs not mest the ‘composition specified for any of the classifications in the specification) can sill be classified according tothe speci fication. The purpose isto allow a useful filler metal one that otherwise would have to await a revision of the specification—to be classified immediately under the ex= isting specification, This means, then, that two filler metals, each bearing the same “G” clesifcation, may be (quite diferent i some certain respect (chemical compesi ‘ion, agai, for example) A2.2.2 The point of diference (although not neces sarily the amount ofthe difference) referred to above will be readily apparent from the use of the words “notre quired" and “not specified in the specification, Theuse of these words is a follows: “Not Specified is used in those areas ofthe specifica tion that refer to the results of some particular test. It indicates thatthe requirements for thattestarenot specified for that particular classification, "Not Requited” is used in those area ofthe specifica ton that refer 10 the est that must be conducted in order 10 classify a filer metal (ora welding material. I indicates that the test is not required because the requirements (resulis) for the test have not been specified for that particular classification. Restating the case, when a requirement isnot specified, itisnotnecessary to conductthe corresponding testin order to classify a filler meta to that classification. When a purchaser wants the information provided by that test in ‘order to consider a particular product of that classification foracertain aplication, the purchaser will have toarrange AUS AS.2 92 MM 0784265 OSO0500 272 mm for that information withthe supplier of that product, The purchaser will also have to establish with that supplier just what the testing procedure and the acceptance require- ‘ments are o be for that test. The purchaser may want to incorporate that information via ANSYAWS A301 Filler Metal Procurement Guidelines) inthe purchase order A3. Acceptance Acceptance of all welding materials classified under this specification isin accordance with ANSUAWS AS.O1, as the specification states. Any testing a purchaser re- 4uires ofthe supplier for material shipped in accordance With this specification needs to be clearly stated in the purchase onler according tothe provisions of ANSYAWS ASO. In the absence of any such statement in the purchase onder, the supplier may ship the material of that Classification as specified in Schedule F, Table 1, of ANSY/ AWS A501, Testing in accordance with any other Sched. tule in that Table shall be specifically required by the Purchase onder. In such cases, acceptance ofthe material shipped wil bein accordance with those requirement, Ad. Certification tof placing the AWS specification and classifi cation designations onthe packaging enclosing the prod: ctor the classification on the product itself, constitutes the supplier's (manufacturer's) certification that the prod: ‘uct meets al of the requirements ofthe specification ‘The only testing requirement implicit in this cenifica tion is that the manufacturer has actually conducted the tests required by the specification on material that is representative ofthat being shipped, and thatthe material thas mel the requirements ofthe specification. Represents: tive material, in this ease, is any production run of that clasification using the same formulation, Certifications not 1 be construed to mean that tests of any kind were necessarily conducted on samples of the specific material shipped. Tests on such material may or ‘may not have been made. The basis forthe certification, ‘required by the specification is the classification tet of “representative material” cited above. and the "Manufacturer's Quality Assurance Program” in ANSI/ AWS A5.OL AS. Ventilation During Welding ASL Five major factors govern the quantity of fumes in ‘the atmosphere towhich weldersand welding operatorsare exposed during welding Copy by the Ameian Nellng Soci Thu Hy 05 17:1805 1998 (1) Dimensions of the space in which welding is done ‘with special regard to the height of the ceiling) 2) Number of welders andl welding operators working. smth space {@) Rate of evolution of fumes, gases, or dust, accord ing to the materials and processes used (4) The proximity of welders or welding operators to the fumes as they issue from the welding zone, and to the ‘88e5 and dustin the space in which they are working (5) The ventilation provided to the space in which the welding is done AS2__AmericanNational Standard7Z49.1,SaferyinWeld- ‘ing and Caiting (published by the American Welding Society), discusses the ventilation that is required during ‘welding and should be referred to for details. Attention is {drawn particulary tothe section of that document titled, ‘Ventilation. A6. Welding Considerations ‘AGL The test assembly required in this specification is welded according to established techniques ofthe oxyfuel {g85 process A6.2_ The oxyfuel gas tothe torch should be adjusted to give ancutral or slightly reducing flame. This assures the absence of the oxidizing flame which could adversely influence weld quality. The extent ofthe excess fuel gas is measured by the length of the streamer (the so-called “feather”) of unburned fuel gas visible atthe extremity of theinner cone. This streamer should measure about 1/8 to 1V4 the length of the inner cone ofthe flame. Excessively long streamers should be avoided, since they may add carbon to the weld metal. 86.3 In forehand welding, the torch flame points ahead in the ditection of welding, und the welding rod precedes the torch flame. To distribute the heat and molten weld metal, it is necessary to use opposing oscillating motions forthe Mae and welding rod. This may cause excessive ‘melting of the base metal and mixing of base metal and weld metal, Weld metal properties may be altered. AGA Inbackhand welding the torch lame points back at the molten metal, and the welding rod is interposed be- tween the fame and molten metal. There is significantly less manipulation ofthe flame, the welding rod, and the ‘molten metal. Therefore, a backhand weld is more likely to approach the chemical composition of undiluted weld ‘metal AWS AS-2 92 MMH 0784265 0500503 135 mm AT. Description and Intended Use of Carbon and Low Alloy Steel Rods ATA Onyfuel gas welding rods have no coverings to inTluence usability of the tod. Thus, the ability to weld in the vertical or ovethead position is essentially a matter of welder skill and can be affected to some degree by the ‘chemical composition of the rod. A72. Class RAS welding rods are a low carbon steel ‘composition used for the welding of steel, where the ‘minimum tensile strength requirement does not exceed 45, ksi 310 MPa). A7.3. Class R60 welding rods ae used forthe oxyfuel gas welding of carbon steels, where the minimum tensile strength requirement does not exceed 60 ksi (415 MP). Class R60 rods are carbon stee! composition. ATA_ Class R65 welding rods are used for the oxyfuel gas welding oF carhon and low alloy steels, where the mini ‘mum tensile strength requirement does not exceed 65 ksi (450 MPa). Class R6S welding rods may have ether alow alloy or a catbon steel composition ATS. Class R100 welding rods are used for the oxyfuel 28 welding of low alloy stel, where the minimum tensile strength requirement does not exceed 100 ksi (690 MPa) in theas-welded condition. Users re cautioned that response ofthe weld metal and base metal to postweld heat treatment ‘may be different A8. Special Tests tis recognized that supplementary tests may be neces- sary to determine the suitability of these welding rods for Copy by the Ameian Nellng Soci Thu Hy 05 17:1805 1998 applications involving properties not considered in this, specification. In such cases, additional tess to determine specific properties such as corosion resistance, mechani cal properties at high and low temperatures, wear resis- tance, and sutability for welding combinations of dissimi- Jar metals may need to be conducted.
