A5.21/A5.21M:2024 SPECIFICATION FOR BARE ELECTRODES AND RODS FOR SURFACING
Member Price: $66.00
Non-Member Price: $88.00
This specification prescribes the requirements for classification of bare (uncoated) solid wire as well as tubular electrodes and rods for weld surfacing. Solid surfacing electrodes and rods are classified on the basis of the composition
of the material as manufactured. Metal cored and flux cored composite (tubular) surfacing electrodes and rods are classified on the basis of the chemical composition of the deposited weld metal. Tubular tungsten carbide bare rods
are classified on the basis of the mesh range, quantity, and composition of the tungsten carbide granules. A guide is appended to the specification as a source of information concerning the characteristics and applications of the
classified electrodes and rods.
