The document discusses the selection and classification of filler metals for welding. It describes that filler metals are classified by type, such as covered electrodes, bare electrodes, and fabricated electrodes. It also outlines the standards from ASME and AWS for selecting the appropriate filler metal based on factors like the base material grade and properties, welding process, position, and intended service conditions. Examples are provided for selecting filler metals for welding carbon steel and stainless steel base metals using gas metal arc welding and gas tungsten arc welding.

SOLID COVERED ELECTRODE EXAMPLES
• How to select the electrode for ASTM A106 grade B?
• First need to check the material type(carbon, low alloy, stainless steel, nickel alloy…etc) • Check with standard ASME sec IX. What will be the P no. Sr. No. Type of Steel, Metal, Alloy P-Number
BASE METAL VS FILLER MATERIAL PROPERTIES WELDING CURRENT AND POSITION
“1” stands for an all position electrode, “2” for a flat and horizontal electrode, and “4” for a flat, horizontal, vertical down and overhead electrode FACTORS FOR SELECTING THE FILLER METAL FOR GTAW, GMAW • Base metal Properties • Tensile strength EXAMPLES
• For ASTM A182 S31600 how to choose the filler rod
1.Go to section IX and get the P no details.P8 belongs to Austentic stainless steel
2.Go to AWS standard for the filler wire selection
• It is a bare electrode so check with the standard SFA-5.9/SFA-5.9M • Bare Stainless Steel Welding Electrodes and Rods FILLER WIRE TENSILE STRENGTH SELECTION OF FILLER WIRE FOR THE LOW ALLOY STEEL IN GTAW, GMAW • Astm A335 grade P91
