Classification 3:1 The welding electrodes and fluxes covered by the |A5.17 specification utilize a classification system based. upon U.S. Customary Units and are classified according. to the following: (J) The mechanical properties of the weld metal ob- tained with a combination of a particular flux and a par- ticular classification of electrode, as specified in Tables SU and 6U. (2) The condition of heat treatment in which those properties are obtained, as specified in 9.4 (and shown in Figure 1). (3) The chemical composition of the electrode (for solid electrodes) as specified in Table 1, or the weld ‘metal produced with a particular flux (for composite electrodes) as specified in Table 2 31M The welding electrodes and fluxes covered by the ‘AS.I7M specification utilize a classification system ‘based upon the International System of Units (SI) and are classified according tothe following: (1) The mechanical properties of the weld metal ob- tained with a combination of a particular lux and a par- ticular classification of electrode, as specified in Tables SM and 6M. (2) The condition of heat treatment in which those properties are obtained, as specified in 9.4 (and shown in Figure IM), (3) The chemical composition of the electrode (for solid electrodes) as specified in Table 1, or the weld ‘metal produced with a particular flux (for composite electrodes) as specified in Table 2 3.2 Solid electrodes classified under one classification shall not be classified under any other classification in this specification, except that solid electrodes meeting the chemical composition requirements of both the ELS and EL12 classifications (Table 1) may be given both classifications.

Fluxes may be classified under any number ‘of classifications, for weld metal in either or both the as- ‘welded and postweld heat-treated conditions, using dif- ferent electrode classifications. Flux-electrode combina- tions may be classified under AS.17 with U.S. Customary Units, AS.17M using the International Sys- tem of Units (SI), or both. Flux-electrode combinations classified under both AS.17 and AS.17M must meet all, requirements for classification under each system. The classification systems are shown in Figures 1U and 1M. 3.3 The electrodes and fluxes classified under this speci fication are intended for submerged are welding, but that is not to probibit their use with any other process for ‘which they are found suitable, |. Acceptance ‘Acceptance ofthe electrodes and fluxes shall be in ac- cordance with the provisions of the latest edition of ANSV/AWS AS.01, Filler Metal Procurement Guidelines (see Annex A3). 5. Certificat By affixing the AWS specification and classification designations tothe packaging or the classification tothe product, the manufacturer certifies that the product meets the requirements ofthis specification (sce Annex AS). 6. Units of Measure and Rounding- Off Procedure 6.1 This specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the International System of Units (SI). The measurements are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other without combining in any way. The specification with the desig. nation A5.17 uses US. Customary Units, The specifica tion with the designation AS.17M uses SI Units. The latter aze shown in appropriate columns in the Tables or Figures or are shown within brackets [ ] when used in the text. Figures in parentheses (following the U.S. Cus- tomary Units, are calculated equivalent SI values for the specified dimensions. Figures in brackets [ ], following U.S. Customary Units used in the text, ate rational SI Units. 6.2 For the purpose of determining conformance with this specification, an observed or calculated value shall be rounded to the nearest 1000 psi for tensile and yield strength for AS.17 [tothe nearest 10 MPa for tensile and STD-AWS AS+27M-ENGL 2997 MM O7842b5 0509331 465 MM MANDATORY CLASSIFICATION DESIGNATORS* Indicates a submerged arc welding Mux, Indicates thatthe welding flux being classified is made solely from rushed slag or is a blend of crushed slag with unused (virgin) flux.

Chemical Analysis 10.1 For solid electrodes, a sample of the electrode shell be prepared for chemical analysis. The rod stock from which the electrode is made may also be used for chemi cal analysis, provided the electrode manufacturing pr cess does not alter the chemical composition. Solid electrodes, when analyzed for elements that are preseat in.a coating (copper flashing, for example), shall be ana- lyzed without removing the coating. When the electrode is analyzed for elements other than those in the coating, the coating shall be removed if its presence affect the re- sults of the analysis for other elements. Rod stock may bbe analyzed prior to coating for those elements not added in the coating, In this case, the analysis ofthe elements in the electrode coating must be made on the finished electrode, 10.2 Composite electrodes shall be analyzed in the form ‘of weld metal. The sample for analysis shall be taken from weld metal obtained with the electrode and the flux ‘with which it is classified. The sample shall come from the weld pad in Figure 2, from the reduced section of the fractured tension tet specimen (see 12.1), from a co responding location (or any location above it) inthe weld metal in the groove weld in Figure 3A. In case of dispute, the weld pad shall be the referee method, ‘The top surface of the pad described in 9.3 and shown in Figure 2 shall be removed and discarded, and a sample {for analysis shall be obtained from the underlying metal of the fourth layer of the weld pad by any appropriate ‘mechanical means. The sample shall be free of slag. The altematives to the weld pad outlined above and in 9.1.2 shall be prepared for analysis by any appropriate ‘mechanical means 10.3 The sample shall be analyzed by secepted analytical ‘methods.
