AWS A5.11/A5.11M

This specification prescribes requirements for the classification ofnickel and nickel-alloycovered electrodes for shielded metal arc welding. It includes thosecompositions in which thenickel content generally exceeds that of any other element.(Footnote1)

Safety and health issues and concerns are beyond the scope of thisstandard and, therefore, are notfully addressed herein. Some safety and health information can befound in the nonmandatory annex,Sections A5 and A10. Safety and health information is available fromother sources, including, butnot limited to, ANSI Z49.1, Safety in Welding, Cutting, and AlliedProcesses, and applicablefederal and state regulations.

This specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and theInternational System of Units(SI). The measurements are not exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem must be used independentlyof the other without combining in any way when referring to materialproperties. The specificationwith the designation A5.11 uses U.S. Customary Units. Thespecification A5.11M uses SI Units. Thelatter are shown within brackets [] or in appropriate columns intables and figures. Standarddimensions based on either system may be used for sizing of fillermetal or packaging or both underA5.11 or A5.11M specifications.
