Scope ‘This document, together with an AWS filler metal specification, is intended to describe a uniform method for providing those specific details needed for filler ‘metal procurement which consist of the following: (1) The fillor metal classification (selected from the pertinent AWS filler motal specification) (@) The lot classification (selected from Section 5 of this document) ) The level of testing schedule (selected from Table 1 and Section 6, Level of Testing ofthis document) 2. Certification By affixing the AWS specification and classification designations tothe packaging, or the classification to the prodiict, the manufacturer crtfis thatthe product meets, the requirements of that pecification. . Manufacturer’s Quality Assurance System 3.4 The certification of the product is accomplished through a quality assurance program, by which the manu- facturer verifies that the product meets the requirements of this specification, Such a program includes planning, documentation, surveillance, inspection, testing, and cer- ification of the test results. It also includes conttl ofthe inspection and measuring equipment, as well as control of any nonconforming material. It involves auditing of the activities and provides for developing and imple- ‘menting any cocective action that may become necessary, ‘32 is the esponsibility of the purchaser to reviow the (quality assurance program of the manufacturer for con= formance to the purchaser's specific roquirements, Copy by the Ameian Nelg Society hu Hv 05 1217.9 198 33 In the case of distributors who reesive electrodes in bulk and package ther for distribution, or who repack ‘age under their own label, the distributor shall maintain tan adequate control system to ensure that the package contents are traceable to the original manufacturer's rocords, 4. Definitions and Identification of Materials 4.1 Introduetion, In production, the components af the filler metal are divided into discrete, predetermined quan- tities so that satisfactory tests with a sample from that ‘quantity will establish that tho entire quantity meets specification requirements. These quantities, known by such terms as heats, lots, blends, batches, and mixes, ‘vary in size according to the manufacturer, For identifi- cation purposes, however, each manufacturer assigns a unique designation to each quantity. This designat usually consists of a series of numbers or letters, of ‘combinations thereof, which will enable the manufac- fuer to determine the date and time (or shift) of manu- facture, the type and source of the raw materials used, and the details of the procedures employed in producing the filler metal. This designation stays with the filler metal and can be used to identify the material late, in those cases in which identification is necessary. 42 Definitions. The terms dry batch, dry blend, wer ‘mix, and heat, a8 they are defined and used in this document, refer to discrete quantities of the components used in producing a Jor of filler metal. The definition of these terms and the considerations that must be given to the identification of the components to which they apply are as follows. 424 Dry Batch, A dry batch is the quantity of éry ingredients mixed at one time in one mixing vesselAUS A5-0} 93 Mm 0784265 OSO3245 54) mm Liquid binder, when added toa dy batch, produces a wet mix. A dry batch may be divided into smaller quantities, in which case the addition of the liquid binder produces fs many wet mixes as there were smaller quanttcs 42.2 Dry Blend. A dry blend consists of two or more dry batches from which quantiles of each aro combined proportionately, then mixed in a mixing ve sel, This produces & larger quantity in which the ingredi- ens are as uniformly dispersed as they would have been had the entire quantity been mixed together at one time in one large mixer. A dry blend, asin the case of a batch, may be used singly or divided into smaller quanti- ties which, when the liqud binder is added, produce one 4.23 Wet Mix, A wet mix is the combination of liquid binder and a dry batch or a dry blend, or portion thereof, mixed at one time in one mixing vessel, 4.2.4 Heat. A heat of metal for consumable inserts, brazing end braze welding filler metal, solid electrodes, and rods, core wire for covered electrodes, and the sheath (trip ot tubing of composite electrode wire and rod) is defined by one ofthe following, depending on the method cof melting and refining of the metal 42.4.1 Where slag-metal or gas-metel rea ‘occur in producing the metal (e.g, open hearth, electric arc, basic oxygen, argon-oxygen), a heat is the material ‘obtained from one furnace melt, 42.4.2 Where significant chemical reactions do ‘not occur in producing the metal (e.g, induction melting ina controlled atmosphere or ina vacuum), « heat is an uninterrupted series of melts from one controlled batch of metals and alloying ingredients in one melting furnace under the sare melting conditions. Each melt shall con- form to the chemical composition range approved by the purchaser of the material (ie. the producer ofthe filer metal) 4.2.43 In processes involving continuous melting and casting (eg, consumable electrode remelt), a heat is an uninterrupted series of remelts in one fernace under the same remelting conditions using one or more con- sumable electrodes produced from a heat, es defined in 4.24.1 or 4.2.4.2. Each remelt shall conform to the ciersial composition range approved by the purchaser of the material (Je, the producer of the filler metal). 43 Identification of Consumable Inserts, Brazing and Braze Welding Filler Metal, Solld Electrode Wire, Rods, Strip, Core Wire for Covered Electrodes, and the Sheath (Strip or Tubing) of Composite Electrodes 43.1 Heat Number.

Coils from mills that do not permit spliced-coil practice need be sampled on only one end. Coils from mills that permit spliced-coll practice must be sampled ‘on both ends and shall have no more than a single splice per coil 44 Tdentification of Covering Mix 4.4.1 Wet Mix, Covering idemtiied by wet mix shall consist ofa single wet mix for each lot of electrodes. 4.42 Controlled Chemical Composition. Covering ‘identified by controlled composition (rather than by wet ‘mix) shall consist of one or more wet mixes and shall be subjected to sufficient tests, both before and after it has bbeen applied tothe core wire, to assure that all wet mixes within the lot ate equivaleat. These tests shall include chemical analysis, the results of which rust fall within the manufacturer's acceptance limits. The identification of the test procedure and the results of the tests shall be recorded 4.5 Identification of Core Ingredients 4.1 Dry Blend, Core ingredients identified by dry ‘iond shall consist of a single dry batch or ry blend. 4.2 Controlled Chemieal Composition.

AL. Introduction ‘This guide is appended tothe specification as a source of information; i is not mandatory and does not form a Part of the specification. Its purpose is to provide de- scriptive information and examples that will aid in the use of AS.01, Filler Metal Procurement Guidelines, A2. General Information The general requitements, testing requirements and procedures, method of manufacture, identifteation, and packaging for filler metals aro specified in the filer ‘eal specification and are not intended tobe duplicated ‘or modified in this specificetion, except asthe purchaser specifies. The complete list of filler metal specifications fs given for roference in the back of this document, ‘Those specifications, used in conjunction with these Procurement Guidelines, provide a basis for specifying ina procurement document the filler motal requirements ina precise, reproducible, uniform manner ‘The Procurement Detail Forms in Tables At through ‘AS are suggested forms intended to servo as a check list {for detailing filler metal requirements for procurement. ‘They could also serve as a basis for efficient corammuni- cation between departments within an organization (e.g, ‘communication between welding or production depart- ‘ments and purchasing concerning the speclfle require ‘ments for filler metal to be procured). ‘Examples of the manner in which the Procurement ‘Detail Forms might be used are given in Tables A6 and Copy by the Ameian Nelg Society hu Hv 05 1217.9 198 ‘AT. In Table A6, the four examples demonstrate the manner in which different packaging, lot classification, supplemental designators and testing requirements would bbe specified ina purchase order for 1000 pounds (453 ke) of 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) diameter B7018 electrodes, The differences are summarized below. Example 1: The test and cortification requirements spec- ied are those the manufacturer of the electrodes uses as “standard practice” inthe conduct of the manufacturer's bbusiness (see Table 1 in the body of this specification) Example 2: Requirements include 10 Ib unit packages, =I (tead as “dash one”) supplemental designator, nd, for the lot shipped, a certificate showing the results of the ‘chemical analysis, the tensile, impact, and soundness tests, and the moisture content of the covering (for Low hydrogen electrodes, as the filler metal specification requires), See Tables 1 and 2. The lot classification, in this case, is the manufacturer's standatd ot (see 5.1.1), Example 3: Requirements include 10 Ib unit packages, ‘an H4 supplemental designator, and, for the lot shipped, cetificate showing the results of al tests ANSUAWS ‘A5.1 requires forthe classification of E7018 electrodes. ‘The definition of the lot classification, in this ease is given in 5.13, Example 4: The requirements here are the samo as in Example 3, except that tho electrode length i 18 in, and the supplemental designator is H4R. The lot clasitiea- tion is as defined in S.1.2 and the level of testing is that which the purchaser has specified in Item Il, OtherAUS AS-O1 3 O7842b5 OSOles2 545 ‘Requirements. Those tests in this case, would be the tests required for classification of the electrode, except that the mechanical property tests (strength and tough- ness) would be conducted on weld metal obtained from the test assembly after the assembly had been given a postweld heat treatment at 1200 = 25°F (650 = 15°C) for 112 hours with the heating and cooling rates specified in Item II, Other Requirements, ‘Table A7 demonstrates the use of the Procurement atail Form for listing the requirements for obtaining straight lengths (rods) and spooled (electrode) aluminum filler metal to filler metal specification ANSVAWS AS.10, Specification for Bare Aluminum and Aluminum Alloy Welding Electrodes and Rods. Example 5 is for rods and Example 6 is for spooled electrodes. In both cases, the tests to be conducted are those called for in Table 2, as indicated by Schedule I (see Table 1 for description). The tests for aluminum rods are different from those for aluminum electrodes, but no other re- quirements are specified in this ease.
