This specification prescribes requirements for the classification of nickel and nickel-alloy covered electrodes for shielded metal arc welding. It includes those compositions in which the nickel content exceeds that of any other element. (Footnote 1)

Abstract

This specification describes the composition, dimensions, soundness, and properties of weld metal from more than 20 classifications of nickel and nickel-alloy covered electrodes. Major topics include general requirements, testing, manufacturing, identification and packaging. A guide to using the specification is included in an annex.

This specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the International System of Units (SI). Since these are not equivalent, each system must be used independently of the other.
