20 - B9 STAINLESS STEELWELD METALS FOR CRYOGENIC APPLICATIONS

Specifies requirements for stainless steel electrodes for gas metal arc welding. Covers electrodes in which chromium content exceeds 10.5 percent and nickel content does not exceed 50 percent. The Standard is based on ANSI/AWS A5.9, Specification for corrosion-resisting chromium and chromium-nickel steel bare and composite metal cored and stranded welding electrodes and welding rods.

This Standard specifies requirements for solid corrosion-resisting chromium and chromium-nickel steel electrodes for gas metal arc welding. It covers electrodes in which chromium content exceeds 10.5% and nickel content does not exceed 50%.NOTE: Additional information concerning electrodes is given in Appendix B.
