The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee WEE/39, Welding consumables, which has the responsibilityto:

- aid enquirers to understand the text;

- present to the responsible European committee any enquiries on the

interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed;

- monitor related i n t e d o n a l and European developments and promulgate

them in the UK A l t of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to i s is secretary. t

Introduction For stainless steel welding consumables there is no unique relationship between the product form (wire electrode, wire or rod) and the welding process used (gas shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, plasma arc welding or submerged arc welding). For this reason the wire electrodes, wires or rods can be classified on the basis of any of the above product forms and can be used as appropriate, for more than one of the above processes. 1 Scope

This standard specifies requirements for classification of wire electrodes, wires and rods for gas shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, plasma arc welding and submerged arc welding of stainless and heat resisting steels. The classification of the wire electrodes, wires and rods is based on their chemical composition.

Normative references
--```,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies.

Welding consumables - Technical delivery conditions for welding filler metals - Type of product, dimensions, tolerances and marking. Quantities and units - Part O: General principles

Classification

A wire electrode, wire or rod shall be classified in accordance with its chemical composition in Table 1. The classification is divided into two parts:

a) the first part gives a symbol indicating the producprocess to be identified; b) the second part gives a symbol indicating the chemical composition of the wire electrode, wire or rod.

4 Symbols and requirements

4.1 Symbol for the productlprocess

The symbol for the wire electrode, wire and/or rod used in the arc welding process shall be the letter G (gas shielded metal arc welding), W (gas tungsten arc welding), P (plasma arc welding) or S (submerged arc welding). NOTE: One product form can be used for more than one welding process.

4.2 Symbol for the chemical composition of wire electrodes, wires and rods
The symbol in Table 1 indicates the chemical composition of the wire electrode, wire or rod, determined under conditions given in clause 6.

5 Properties of the all-weld metal

Properties of the all-weld metal are not part of the classification. NOTE 1: The influence of the shielding gas or flux on the chemical composition of the allweld metal is considered. Differences between the chemical composition of the all-weld metal and the wire electrode, wire or rod can occur. NOTE 2: Proof and tensile strength of the weld metal made by a consumable listed in Table 1 is expected to comply with the minimum requirements in annex A. Elongation and impact properties of the weld metal can deviate from the minimum values specified for the corresponding parent metal as a result of variations in the microstructure.
6 Chemical analysis

Chemical analysis shall be performed on any suitable specimens of the product. Any analytical technique can be used, but in case of dispute reference shall be made to established published methods. NOTE: See Bibliography.
7 Technical delivery conditions

Technical delivery conditions shall meet the requirements given in EN 759.

The designation of wire electrodes, wires and rods shall follow the principle given in the examples below. EXAMPLE 1: A wire electrode for gas shielded metal arc welding, also applicable to submerged arc welding, with the chemical composition within the limits of the alloy symbol 20 10 3 of Table 1 is designated: Wire electrode EN 12072 - G 20 1O 3 and/or S 20 1O 3. EXAMPLE 2:

A rod for tungsten arc welding with the chemical composition within the limits of the alloy symbol 20 10 3 of Table 1 is designated:
Welding rod EN 12072 - W 20 1O 3, EXAMPLE 3:

A wire electrode for gas shielded metal arc welding with the chemical composition 19 12 3 L of to / Table 1 with silicon > 0,65 1,2 oo is designated:
Wire electrode EN 12072 - G 19 12 3 L Si. where: EN 12072
= standard number: = producprocess symbol, G for gas shielded metal arc welding (see 4.1); = chemical composition of wire electrode (see Table 1).
