The ratio of yield to tensile strength (of weld metal is generally higher than that of parent metal. Users should note that matching ‘weld metal yield strength to parent metal yield strength will not necessarily ensure that the weld ‘metal tensile strength matches that of the parent material. Where the application requires matching tensile strength, therefore, selection of the consumable should be made by reference to coluinn 3 of table 1. {It should be noted that the mechanical properties of all-weld metal test specimens used to classify the electrodes will vary froin those obtained in production joints because of differences in welding Procedure Such as electrode size, width of weave, ‘welding position and material composition. 1 Scope This standard specifies requirements for classification of covered electrodes and deposited metal in the a5-welded condition for manual metal are weiding of non alloy and fine grain steels with ‘a minimum yiold strength of up to 500 N/mm? in the welded condition 2 Normative references ‘This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications, These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter.

This homogeneous rrixture of substances generally contains the following five main components: ~ siag-forming materials; deoxidants; shielding gas-forming materials; ~ jonizing agents; ~~ binders and, if necessary; ~ alloying elements. In eddition iron powder may be added to increase the weld metal recovery (see 4.6), which may. affect the positional welding properties, In the following, thick covering means a diameter ratio of covering to core wire greater than or equal w 16. A.2 Aeld-covered clectrodes ‘The covering of this type is characterized by lange proportions of iron oxides and, as a result of the high oxygen potential, of deoxidants (ferro-manganese). With a thick covering, the acid slag causes a very fine droplet transfer and produces flat and smooth welds. Electrodes with acid covering only have a limited application for positional welding and are more susceptible to solidification eracking than other types. A.3 Cellulosic-covered electrode Electrodes of this type contain a large quantity of combustible organic substances, particularly cellulose, in the covering. Owing to the intensive are, such electrodes are especially suitable for ‘welding in the vertical downward position, Ad Rutile-covered electrodes Electrodes of this type will give a coarse droplet transfer which ensures that these electrodes are suitable for welding sheet metal. Rutile type electrodes are suitable forall welding positions, except the vertical downward position, A.6 Rutile-thick-covered electrodes Electrodes of this type have a diameter ratio of covering to core wite greater than or equal to 1.6. Characteristic features are the high rutile content of their covering, theit good resting characteristics and thelf finely rippled regular ‘welds A.6 Rutlle-celluloste-covered cleetrodes ‘The compasition of the covering of these electrodes is similar to that of rutile-type electrodes, containing, Nowever, larger quantities of cellulose Electrodes of this type are therefore suitable for welding in the vertical downward position. Copyright by the European Committee For Standardization ‘Sun Sop 28 45:21:10 2003 00877bb T74 mm Page 7 EN 499: 1994 A.7 Rutile-scid-covered electrodes Concerning welding characteristics, electrodes of this mixed type are comparable to electrodes having an acid covering. However, in the covering of these electrodes a substantial proportion of iron oxide has been replaced by rutile. Therefore, these electrodes, having mostly a thick covering, are suitable for all positions, except the vertical downward position, A.8 Ratile-basie-covered electrodes Characteristic features of this type of covering are 2 large quantity of rutile and an increased proportion of basic components. These electrodes, ‘having mostly a thick covering, are characterized ‘by good mechanical properties. They possess uniformly good welding properties in all positions ‘except the vertical downward position. A.9 Baste-covered electrodes ‘A characteristic feature of the thick covering of these electrodes is the large quantity of carbonates of the allaline earth metals, e.g. calcium carbonate ime) and fluorspar. Tb improve the welding properties, particularly with a.c. welding, higher ‘concentrations of non-basic components (e.g. rutile andfor quartz) maybe required. Basic-covered electrodes have two outstanding Properties: the impact energy of the weld metal is higher, particularly at low temperatures, and they are mare resistant to cracking than all other types. ‘Their resistance to solidification cracking results. from the high metallurgical purity of the weld metal, whilst the low risk of cold cracking, provided dry electrodes are used, 1s attributable to the low hydrogen content. It is lower than with all, ‘other types: it should not exceed an upper permissible lik of H » 15 m/100 g of deposited Generally, electrodes of the basic type are suitable {or all welding positions, except the vertical downward position. Basic-type electrodes especially suited for the vertical downward position, have a particular composition.
