1 Table 1 refers to coated electrodes (SMAW process) only. For bare wire welding (SAW, GMAW, GTAW and
FCAW), use equivalent electrode classifications (AWS A 5.14, A 5.17, A5.18, A 5.20, A 5.23, At 28)
2 Higher allow electrode specified in the table should normally be used to meet the required tensile and toughness
after post weld heat treatment (PWHT). If no PWHT is required, the lower alloy electrode specified may be
required to meet the hardness requirements.
