Specifies requirements for aluminium and aluminium alloy electrodes for gas metal-arc welding. The classification system adopted is basically in line with ANSI/AWS A5.10 and, in general, electrodes which comply with that Standard will also be deemed to comply with this Standard.

This Standard specifies requirements for aluminium and aluminium alloy solid electrodes for gas metal arc welding.
