CLASSIFICATION OF WELDING ELECTRODES
Classification of welding electrodes consists of a prefix letter “E” specifying an electrode, a group of two or three digits specifying weld metal strength in ksi in the ‘as-weld’ or stress relieved condition, and a final two digits specifying type of covering, weld position…

WELDING PROCESSES
The welding processes are not the scope of this manual, specific for welding inspections. However, only for refreshing, the most common arc welding processes used in heavy and medium carbon and alloy steel manufacturing are: SMAW: Shielded Metal Arc Welding – stick welding electrode; GMAW: Gas…

WELDING ELECTRODES AND PREHEAT REQUIREMENTS
The procedure requirements for welding electrodes and preheating temperatures are as follows: Welding must be done with the same process (SMAW or FCAW) used for qualification If the operator has qualified on any of the steel permitted (ASTM A36 and A588), that same operator…

Mechanical Properties
The mechanical properties of a material are those properties that involve a reaction to an applied load. The mechanical properties of metals determine the range of usefulness of a material and establish the service life that can be expected. Mechanical properties are also used to…

Forging
Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces. Forging is often classified according to the temperature: “cold”, “warm”, or “hot” forging. Forged parts can range in weight from less than a kilogram to 580 metric tons. Forged parts usually…
