Specification for Covered Electrodes for Underwater Wet Shielded Metal Arc Welding

1. Scope 1.1 This specification prescribes requirements for the classification, based on underwater wet welding test and associated evaluation, of covered electrodes for underwater wet shielded metal arc welding. Requirements for certification of test results are also shown herein. The specification covers ferritic steel, austenitic stainless steel, and nickel filler metals plus any auxiliary coatings applied over the electrode covering. Unless otherwise specified herein, the term “manufacturer” refers to the provider of the finished product (the electrode ready for underwater use). The requirements herein are intended to classify electrodes without consideration for potential base metals to be welded; suitability for specific base metals should be established by the customer during welding procedure qualification testing (see Annex A for further considerations). This specification does not govern depth of water capability or maximum exposure time for wet welding electrodes classified to this document. However, such information shall be clearly shown as required by the marking requirements of Clause 14. Safety and health issues and concerns are beyond the scope of this standard and, therefore, are not fully addressed herein. Some safety and health information can be found in informative Annex A. Safety and health information is available from other sources, including, but not limited to, ANSI Z49.1, Safety in Welding, Cutting, and Allied Processes, and applicable federal and state regulations.

4. Acceptance Acceptance of welding electrodes (those to which an auxiliary waterproof coating is to be applied) shall be in accordance with the provisions of AWS A5.01M/A5.01 (ISO 14344 MOD) or equivalent document. Additional procurement requirements for wet welding electrodes are covered in this specification.

5. Certification By affixing the AWS specification and classification designations to the packaging, or the classification to the product, the manufacturer certifies that the product meets the requirements of this specification.

6. Rounding Procedure For purposes of determining compliance with the requirements of this specification, the actual test values obtained shall be subjected to the rounding rules of ASTM E29 or ISO 80000-1, Annex B, Rule A (the results are the same). If the measured

3

AWS A5.35/A5.35M: 2015

values are obtained by equipment calibrated in units other than those of the specified limit, the measured values shall be converted to the units of the specified limit before rounding. If an average value is to be compared to the specified limit, rounding shall be done only after calculating the average. An observed or calculated value shall be rounded to the nearest 1000 psi for tensile and yield strength for AWS A5.35 (U.S. Customary Unit standard) and to the nearest 10 MPa for tensile and yield strength for AWS A5.35M (SI unit standard); and to the nearest unit in the last right-hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting values for other quantities. The rounded results shall fulfill the requirements for the classification under test.

7. Auxiliary Coating Integrity Auxiliary coatings shall be uniform with no breaks or flaking which would degrade electrode performance. The auxiliary coatings shall be applied so as to provide complete coverage of the electrode. They shall extend from at least 1/16 in [1.5 mm] beyond the covering on the grip end and shall completely seal the arc end. The auxiliary coatings shall not interfere with electrical continuity between the electrode and the electrode holder.

8. Summary of Tests 8.1 Testing. Testing for conformance to this specification shall be as required by Tables 4 and 5. This testing represents only the electrode chemical composition and diameter, method of manufacture, and auxiliary coating system tested. Any changes to the electrode chemical composition or diameter, method of manufacture (including electrode core wire and flux formulation), formulation of auxiliary coatings, or any addition or deletion of an auxiliary coating, shall require retesting for conformance to the specification; the modified electrodes shall be identified using a different or modified designation from the original. All test assemblies shall be tested in the as-welded condition; no form of heating shall be used on any test assembly after welding. Grinding is not permitted on the weld reinforcement except for the purpose of magnetic particle testing (MT) or liquid penetrant testing (PT), and only after the weld has passed visual testing (VT). All welding and testing is to be witnessed, and results certified, by an independent third party AWS Certified Welding Inspector with at least five years of experience associated with underwater wet welding projects, or an individual with equivalent qualifications and experience. The information required by Figure 1, and the results of all testing, shall be certified by the manufacturer and the independent third party inspector, and maintained on file by the manufacturer for review by potential users of the wet welding electrodes.

8.2 Evaluation. Evaluation of inspection and test results shall be in accordance with Table 6. Three levels of quality, or integrity, are identified (Table 2) as applied in Table 6; Level 1 is the highest quality, while Level 3 is the lowest quality. The electrode classification (see Table 2) will reflect a particular electrode’s capability in meeting the quality level indicated. The criteria in Table 6 will aid the customer in selecting the quality level of electrode desired for a specific application. Table 6 designates MIL-STD-2035A and AWS D3.6M as the acceptance standards for nondestructive testing. AWS PRG may be used in lieu of MIL-STD-2035A for radiographic film interpretation, since it reflects the criteria specified in MIL-STD-2035A. 8.3 Additional Requirements. See Clause 10 and A.6 Special Testing for additional testing considerations.

9. Retest If the results of any test fail to meet the requirement, that test shall be repeated twice. The results of both retests shall meet the requirement. Specimens for retest may be taken from the original test assembly or from a new test assembly. For chemical analysis, retest need be only for those specific elements that failed to meet the test requirement. If the results of one or both retests fail to meet the requirement, the material under test shall be considered as not meeting the requirements of this specification for that classification. In the event that during preparation or after completion of any test, it is clearly determined that prescribed or proper procedures were not followed in preparing the weld test assembly or test specimen(s) or in conducting the test, the

6

Base metal for all testing shall be ASTM A 36 or equivalent.

11. Method of Manufacture The electrodes classified according to this specification may be manufactured by any method that will produce electrodes that meet the requirements of this specification. Electrodes procured for auxiliary coating application for underwater welding shall meet the requirements of the applicable specification under which the electrodes are procured. Auxiliary coating application shall meet the requirements of Clause 7.

12. Electrode Identification The requirements for identification of electrodes before and after the application of auxiliary coatings are described below. 12.1 Electrodes prior to application of auxiliary coatings. The electrodes shall be marked with the classification required by the applicable specification under which the electrodes were procured, or, for proprietary purposes, they shall be marked with any special designation of the underwater electrode manufacturer. 12.2 Electrodes after application of auxiliary coatings. The classification and type of wet welding electrode shall be designated by either of the following methods: (a) On the grip end by paint color as shown in Figure 3 (the “level” designation paint may be applied over the end of the “classification” designation paint). (b) Each individual electrode shall be marked with the appropriate level and classification designation. The marking imprint shall be of bold block letters and numerals, with sufficient contrast between the marking and the auxiliary coating to be legible both before and after welding. The marking shall be within 2.5 in [65 mm] from the grip end of the electrode.

13. Electrode Lot Identification A “lot” of electrodes shall consist of electrodes that have all been manufactured using a single lot/batch or heat of filler wire, batch of covering, and auxiliary coating(s). An application period is defined as that period of time during which one mix (or lot) of auxiliary coating (whether mixed in-house or obtained premixed from a coating manufacturer) is applied to the electrodes in a continuous coating process. In all cases, an application period is limited to one work day, work shift, or process period. Each separate lot of electrodes shall be assigned an identifying number, which shall include the date of auxiliary coating application, and this number shall be used on all appropriate records and as specified in Clause 14.

Annex A (Informative) Guide to AWS Specification for Covered Electrodes for Underwater Wet Shielded Metal Arc Welding This annex is not part of AWS A5.35/A5.35M:2015, Specification for Covered Electrodes for Underwater Wet Shielded Metal Arc Welding, but is included for informational purposes only.

A1. Introduction The purpose of this guide is to correlate the electrode classifications with their intended applications so the specification can be used effectively. Appropriate base metal specifications are referred to whenever that can be done and when it would be helpful. Such references are intended only as examples rather than complete listings of the materials for which each electrode is suitable.

A2. Acceptance Acceptance of all welding materials classified under this specification is in accordance with AWS A5.01M/A5.01 (ISO 14344 MOD), Welding Consumables—Procurement of Filler Metals and Fluxes, as the specification states. Any testing a purchaser requires of the supplier, for material shipped in accordance with this specification, needs to be clearly stated in the purchase order, according to the provisions of AWS A5.01M/A5.01 (ISO 14344 MOD). In the absence of any such statement in the purchase order, the supplier may ship the material with whatever testing the supplier normally conducts on material of that classification, as specified in Schedule F, Table 1, of AWS A5.01M/A5.01 (ISO 14344 MOD). Testing in accordance with any other Schedule in that Table must be specifically required by the purchase order. In such cases, acceptance of the material shipped will be in accordance with those requirements.

A3. Certification The act of placing the AWS specification and classification designations on the packaging enclosing the product or the classification on the product itself, constitutes the supplier’s (manufacturer’s) certification that the product meets all of the requirements of the specification. The only testing requirement implicit in this “certification” is that the manufacturer has actually conducted the tests required by the specification on material that is representative of that being shipped and that the tested material met the requirements of the specification. Representative material, in this case, is any production run of that classification using the same formulation. “Certification” is not to be construed to mean that tests of any kind were necessarily conducted on samples of the specific material shipped. Tests on such material may or may not have been conducted. The basis for the “certification” required by the specification is the classification test of “representative material” cited above, and the “Manufacturer’s Quality Assurance System” in AWS A5.01M/A5.01 (ISO 14344 MOD).

11

AWS A5.35/A5.35M: 2015

A4. Welding Considerations Due to the much higher cooling rate of wet welds, as compared to welding in the dry, weldment hardness is increased and weldment ductility is reduced. The degree of this weldment degradation is dependent on the metallurgy of the particular filler metal and base metal being used. Weld discontinuities are also more prevalent in wet welds than welds made in the dry, with the discontinuities becoming more prevalent as the depth increases. In general, the austenitic stainless steel and high nickel filler metals tend to be more depth sensitive than the ferritic steel filler metals. Weld metal porosity is the most significant discontinuity occurring in wet welds. The increased porosity is a result of the weld metal solidifying before gases can escape, due to the increased cooling rate in the wet; it is also a result of increased hydrogen produced in the welding arc. The degree of porosity will depend on the welding electrode used, water depth, position of welding, and welding technique. Hydrogen induced underbead cracking can be a problem when using ferritic steel filler metals to weld carbon steel base metals with a high carbon equivalent. This can generally be expected when the base metal carbon equivalent is above 0.40 when calculated in accordance with AWS D3.6M. The use of austenitic stainless steel and high nickel filler metals tend to eliminate the underbead cracking problem in the higher carbon equivalent steels, due to the higher affinity for hydrogen of the filler metals, resulting in less hydrogen in the base metal heat affected zone. However, it should be noted that austenitic stainless steel (300 series) groove weld size, and fillet weld throat dimensions, should be limited to a maximum of approximately 3/8 inch [10 mm] to avoid diffusion zone cracking at the weld fusion line when welding higher carbon equivalent ferritic steels. When using austenitic stainless steel filler metal, there is the potential for knife-edge corrosion at the toe of the weld due to dissimilar metal galvanic action. This will depend on the relative surface area size of the dissimilar metals. Care should be exercised when welding on base metals less than 1/4 inch [6 mm] in thickness. Burn-through can be a problem due to the increased amperage required for wet welding, and due to increased welding current density from arc constriction caused by pressures at depth. Electrodes procured to this specification, when used with properly qualified procedures by properly trained and qualified personnel, should result in weldments in which the limitations addressed above are minimized. This specification covers three sub-classes of electrodes (see 8.2) Levels 1, 2, and 3. Level 3 is the least stringent; most currently available welding electrodes should meet the requirements of this level. Level 2 requirements will be met by higher quality electrodes currently available. Level 1 requirements represent electrodes that have been successfully used over the years for structural weld repairs which have a proven in-service record, and for which test data at various depths have been reported in technical publications.

A5.

Annex B (Informative) Guidelines for the Preparation of Technical Inquiries This annex is not a part of AWS A5.35/A5.35M:2015, Specification for Covered Electrodes for Underwater Wet Shielded Metal Arc Welding, but is included for informational purposes only.

B1. Introduction The American Welding Society (AWS) Board of Directors has adopted a policy whereby all official interpretations of AWS standards are handled in a formal manner. Under this policy, all interpretations are made by the committee that is responsible for the standard. Official communication concerning an interpretation is directed through the AWS staff member who works with that committee. The policy requires that all requests for an interpretation be submitted in writing. Such requests will be handled as expeditiously as possible, but due to the complexity of the work and the procedures that must be followed, some interpretations may require considerable time.

B2. Procedure All inquiries shall be directed to: Managing Director Technical Services Division American Welding Society 8669 NW 36th St, #130 Miami, FL 33166 All inquiries shall contain the name, address, and affiliation of the inquirer, and they shall provide enough information for the committee to understand the point of concern in the inquiry. When the point is not clearly defined, the inquiry will be returned for clarification. For efficient handling, all inquiries should be typewritten and in the format specified below. B2.1 Scope. Each inquiry shall address one single provision of the standard unless the point of the inquiry involves two or more interrelated provisions. That provision shall be identified in the Scope of the inquiry along with the edition of the standard that contains the provisions of that the inquirer is addressing. B2.2 Purpose of the Inquiry. The purpose of the inquiry shall be stated in this portion of the inquiry. The purpose can be to obtain an interpretation of a standard requirement or to request the revision of a particular provision in the standard. B2.3 Content of the Inquiry. The inquiry should be concise, yet complete, to enable the committee to understand the point of the inquiry. Sketches should be used whenever appropriate, and all paragraphs, figures, and tables (or annex) that bear on the inquiry shall be cited. If the point of the inquiry is to obtain a revision of the standard, the inquiry shall provide technical justification for that revision. B2.4 Proposed Reply. The inquirer should, as a proposed reply, state an interpretation of the provision that is the point of the inquiry or provide the wording for a proposed revision, if this is what the inquirer seeks.

15

AWS A5.35/A5.35M: 2015

B3. Interpretation of Provisions of the Standard Interpretations of provisions of the standard are made by the relevant AWS technical committee. The secretary of the committee refers all inquiries to the chair of the particular subcommittee that has jurisdiction over the portion of the standard addressed by the inquiry. The subcommittee reviews the inquiry and the proposed reply to determine what the response to the inquiry should be. Following the subcommittee’s development of the response, the inquiry and the response are presented to the entire committee for review and approval. Upon approval by the committee, the interpretation is an official interpretation of the Society, and the secretary transmits the response to the inquirer and to the Welding Journal for publication.

B4. Publication of Interpretations All official interpretations will appear in the Welding Journal.

B5. Telephone Inquiries Telephone inquiries to AWS Headquarters concerning AWS standards should be limited to questions of a general nature or to matters directly related to the use of the standard. The AWS Board of Directors’ policy requires that all AWS staff members respond to a telephone request for an official interpretation of any AWS standard with the information that such an interpretation can be obtained only through a written request. Headquarters staff cannot provide consulting services. However, the staff can refer a caller to any of those consultants whose names are on file at AWS Headquarters.

B6. AWS Technical Committees The activities of AWS technical committees regarding interpretations are limited strictly to the interpretation of provisions of standards prepared by the committees or to consideration of revisions to existing provisions on the basis of new data or technology. Neither the committees nor the staff is in a position to offer interpretive or consulting services on (1) specific engineering problems, (2) requirements of standards applied to fabrications outside the scope of the document or (3) points not specifically covered by the standard. In such cases, the inquirer should seek assistance from a competent engineer experienced in the particular field of interest.
