           Chart - 1 shows details of AWS coding of an electrode.

           In the chart, E stands for electrode. It means that it is a stick electrode.
           The first two digits are very important. They designate the minimum tensile strength of the weld metal that the
           electrode will produce.

           The third digit indicates the welding positions.
           The last digit the code indicates the kind of flux coating used.
