NOTES:
a. Single values are maximum.
b. The letter “N” as a suffix to a classification indicates that the weld metal is intended for the corc belt region of nuclear reactor vessels, as
described in the Annex to the specification. This suffix changes the limits on the phosphorus and copper as follows:
P p0.012% maximum
Cup0.08% maximum
c. SAE HS-1086/ASTM DS-56, Metals & Alloys in the Unified Numbering System.
d. Copper due to any coating on the electrode or rod plus the copper content of the filler metal itself, shall not exceed the stated 0.50% max.
e. In this classification, the maximum Mn may exceed 2.0%. If it does, the maximum C must be reduced 0.01% for each 0.05% increase in
Mn or part thereof.
f. Chemical requirements are not specified but there shall be no intentional addition of Ni, Cr, Mo, or V. Composition shall be reported.
Requirements are those agreed to by the purchaser and the supplier.

NOTES:
a. The final X shown in the classification represents a “C” or “M” which corresponds to the shielding gas with which the electrode is classified.
The use of “C” designates 100% CO2 shielding (AWS A5.32 Class SG-C). “M” designates 75-80% Ar/balance CO2 (AWS A5.32 Class
SG-AC-Y, where Y is 20 to 25). For E70C-G [E48C-G] and E70C-GS [E48C-GS], the final “C” or “M” may be omitted if these gases are
not used for classification.
b. SAE HS-1086/ASTM DS-56, Metals & Alloys in the Unified Numbering System.
c. Use of a shielding gas other than that specified will result in different weld metal composition.
d. Single values are maximums.
e. The sum of Ni, Cr, Mo, and V shall not exceed 0.50%.
f. Shielding gas shall be as agreed upon between purchaser and supplier, unless designated by the C or M suffix.
g. Composition shall be reported; the requirements are those agreed to between purchaser and supplier.
h. The composition of weld metal from this classification is not specified since electrodes of this classification are intended only for single pass
welds. Dilution, in such welds, usually is quite high.

NOTES:
a. The final X shown in the classification represents a “C” or “M” which corresponds to the shielding gas with which the electrode is classified.
The use of “C” designates 100% CO2 shielding (AWS A5.32 Class SG-C); “M” designates 75-80% Ar/balance CO2 (AWS A5.32 Class,
SG-AC-Y, where Y is 20 of 25). For E70C-G [E48C-G] and E70C-GS [E48C-GS], the final “C” or “M” may be omitted.
b. Yield strength at 0.2% offset and elongation in 2 in. [50 mm] gage length (or 1.4 in. [36 mm] gage length for the 0.350 in. [9.0 mm] tensile
specimen recommended in A4.2 for the optional in A4.2 for the optional acceptance test using gas tungsten arc).
c. CO2 p carbon dioxide shielding gas (AWS A5.32 Class SG-C). The use of CO2 for classification purposes shall not be construed to preclude
the use of Ar/CO2 (AWS A5.32 Class SG-AC-Y) or Ar/O2 (AWS A5.32 Class SG-AO-X) shielding gas mixtures. A filler metal tested with gas
blends, such as Ar/O2, or Ar/CO2 may result in weld metal having higher strength and lower elongation. Testing with 100% argon shielding
(AWS A5.32 Class SG-A) is required when classification testing is based on GTAW only (see A4.2 in Annex A).
d. Shielding gas shall be as agreed to between purchaser and supplier, unless designated by the C or M suffix.
