METHOD OF DOCUMENTATION OF ACCEPTANCE: By AWS classification and specification markings. Resident Engineer records in diary. The brand and manufacturer if not listed above must be approved prior to use.
Method of Approval for Materials to be added to this Qualified Products List: Qualification of welding materials is based on the submittal of the manufacturer's certified yearly tests in accordance with AWS.
Electrode Information & Usage: Bridge field welding will generally be by Shielded Metal Arc Welding Type (SMAW) which meets AWS specification A5.1 and A5.5. The electrode will have a designation E####-x. The code for this designation is:
E####-x E Electrode
E####-x Minimum tensile strength in 1000 psi--For bridge welding must be 70 or greater
E####-x Approved welding position; 1,2 or 4; 1-all positions, 2-flat position & horizontal fillet welds, 4-vertical-down welding & flat, overhead, horizontal
E####-x Type coating, 0-8; also shows approved current type
E####-x Chemical composition of weld metal deposit.
All E70## and E80## SMAW electrodes shall be stored in unopened hermetically sealed containers or in holding ovens at 120ºC ( 250ºF). If not taken from a sealed container or a holding oven:
AWS 5.1 electrodes must be dried at least 2 hours at 230ºC - 260ºC (450º- 500ºF)(Max exposure time is 4 hrs.)
AWS 5.5 electrodes must be dried at least 1 hour at 370ºC - 430ºC (700º- 800ºF)(Max exposure time is 4 hrs. for E70## & 2 hrs. for E80##)
If during use electrodes are exposed for less than the max. exposure time electrodes may be redried once at min of 120ºC ( 250º F). for 4 hours.
If during use electrodes are exposed for more than the max. exposure time electrodes may be redried once at min of 230ºC - 260ºC (450º-500ºF) for 2 hours.
Electrodes that have been wet shall not be used.
Other electrodes listed and meeting AWS codes AWS 5.17, A5.18, A5.20, A5.23, A5.28, A5.29 are for use with Submerged Arc Welding (SAW-A5.17 & A5.23), Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW- A5.20 & A5.29), or Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW- A5.18 & A5.28). These are normally shop fabrication techniques.
