34、ch, with the application of the specified toler-ances, provides for interchangeability of products in both the U.S. Customary and SI Units.This new AWS A5.36/A5.36M specification utilizes two classification systems. The first of these is a “fixed classifica-tion system” which has been carried over t

35、o this specification from AWS A5.20/A5.20M or AWS A5.18/A5.18M, asapplicable, for the classification of those carbon steel flux cored electrodes or carbon steel metal cored electrodes which,with the specific mechanical properties specified for them in AWS A5.20/A5.20M or AWS A5.18/A5.18M, have gaine

36、dwide acceptance for single and multiple pass applications. The classification designations and requirements for thesespecific electrodes are unchanged from those previously specified in AWS A5.20/A5.20M or AWS A5.18/A5.18M. Alisting of these electrodes with their requirements is given in Table 1.Th

37、is AWS A5.36/A5.36M specification also utilizes a new, “open classification system” which is introduced in this doc-ument for the classification of carbon and low-alloy steel flux cored and metal cored electrodes. The open classificationsystem uses designators to indicate electrode type (Usability D

38、esignator), welding position capability, tensile strength,impact strength, shielding gas (with more options and new designations), condition of heat treatment, if any, and welddeposit composition. The change to an open classification system is being made to allow for the classification of fluxcored

39、and metal cored electrodes with classification options which (1) better define the performance capabilities of theadvanced electrode designs that have been developed, and (2) reflect the application requirements of todays market-place. In addition, the provision has been made in this document for th

40、e classification of metal cored electrodes (usabil-ity Designator T15) and two new electrode types (Usability Designators T16 and T17) for the classification of metalcored and flux cored electrodes designed for use with AC power sources with or without modified waveforms. TheEXXT-2X classification h

41、as been discontinued. Electrodes previously classified as EXXT-2X can now be classifiedunder the new open classification system without requiring a unique “2” Usability Designator. The EXXT-13 electrodeclassification has been discontinued due to lack of commercial significance. For a complete listin

42、g of the affected exist-ing electrode classifications and the corresponding equivalent classifications using the open classification system underAWS A5.36/A5.36M, refer to A9 in Annex A.Two additional changes to note are (1) the fillet weld test, previously required under AWS A5.20/A5.20M and AWSA5.

43、29/A5.29M (and also detailed in ISO 15792-3) is not a required test under AWS A5.36/A5.36M, and (2) the preheatviiiAWS A5.36/A5.36M:2012and interpass temperature requirements for the “D” optional, supplemental designator have been modified for betteragreement with AWS D1.8/D1.8M, Structural Welding
