AWS A5.17/A5.17M - Specification for Carbon Steel Electrodes and Fluxes for Submerged Arc Welding

This specification provides requirements for the classification of solid and
composite carbon steel electrodes and fluxes for submerged arc welding.
Electrode classification is based on chemical composition of the electrode for
solid electrodes, and chemical composition of the weld metal for composite
electrodes. Flux classification is based on the mechanical properties of weld
metal produced with the flux and an electrode classified herein. Other
requirements include sizes, marking, manufacturing and packaging. The form and
usability of the flux are also included. 31 pp.
