Abstract / scope
ISO 24598:2007 specifies requirements for classification of solid wire electrodes, tubular cored electrodes and electrode/flux combinations (all-weld metal deposits) for submerged arc welding of creep-resisting and low-alloy elevated-temperature steels. One flux can be tested and classified with different electrodes. One electrode can be tested and classified with different fluxes. The solid wire electrode is also classified separately based on its chemical composition.
ISO 24598:2007 is a combined specification providing for classification utilizing a system based upon the chemical composition of the solid wire electrode and all-weld metal deposit, or utilizing a system based upon the tensile strength of the all-weld metal deposit and the chemical composition of the solid wire electrode and all-weld metal deposit obtained with the electrode/flux combination.
