This specification prescribes requirements for the classification of titanium and titanium alloy electrodes and rods for gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, and plasma arc welding.

Abstract

This specification is a revision of the titanium welding electrode document last revised in 1970. The compositions specified for each classification represent the latest state-of-the-art. A new numerical designation system is introduced to make the system more compatible with commercial practice. The specification contains testing procedures, standard sizes and forms, and identification and marking practices.

The Appendix has been totally reorganized. Handbook data have been deleted. Each of the 13 classifications is described briefly with general information concerning the application of filler metal of each classification.
