This specification prescribes requirements for the classification of low-alloy steel electrodes(solid, composite stranded and composite metal cored) and rods (solid) for gas metal arc (GMAW),gas tungsten arc (GTAW), and plasma arc (PAW) welding.
Safety and health issues and concerns are beyond the scope of this standard and therefore are notfully addressed herein. Some safety and health information can be found in the nonmandatory AnnexSections A5 and A10. Safety and health information is available from other sources, including butnot limited to ANSI Z49.1, Safety in Welding, Cutting, and Allied Processes, and applicable federaland state regulations.
This specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the International System of Units(SI). The measurements are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independentlyof the other without combining in any way when referring to weld metal properties. Thespecification with the designation A5.28 uses U.S. Customary Units. The specification A5.28M usesSI Units. The latter are shown within brackets [ ] or in appropriate columns in tables and figures.Standard dimensions based on either system may be used for sizing of electrodes or packaging orboth under the A5.28 or A5.28M specifications.
