AWS A5.20 Specification for Carbon Steel Electrodes for Flux Cored Arc

Welding
In this specification, electrodes are classified on the basis of:
Whether CO2 is used as a shielding gas
Suitability for single or multiple-pass application
Type of current
Welding Consumables
Welding position
Mechanical properties of the deposited weld metal.
The system for identifying the electrode classification in AWS
A5.20 follows, for the most part, the standard pattern used in
other AWS filler metal specification.

Classification Designators

EXX-TWMJ HZ
E Designates an electrode
First X This designator is either 6 or 7. It indicates the minimum tensile strength (in psi x 10 000) of the weld metal
when the sample is prepared in the manner prescribed by AWS A5.20
Second X Indicates the primary welding position for which the electrode is designed:
0 - flat and horizontal positions
1 - all positions
T This designator indicates that the electrode is a flux cored electrode
W This designator is a number from 1 through 14 or the letter ‘G’ with or without an ‘S’ following. The
number refers to the usability of the electrode. The ‘G’ indicates that the external shielding, polarity and
impact properties are not specified. The ‘S’ indicates that the electrode is suitable for single-pass welding
only. Please see table below for details
M An ‘M’ designator in this position indicates that the electrode is classified using 75-80% Ar-CO2 shielding gas.
When this designator does not appear, it signifies that the shielding gas used for classification is CO2 or that
the product is a self-shielded type
J Optional supplementary designator. Designates that the electrode meets the requirements for improved
toughness by meeting a Charpy impact value of 27 J at -40˚C. Absence of the ‘J’ indicates normal impact
requirements
HZ Optional supplementary designator. Designates that the electrode meets the requirements of the diffusible
