ISO 26304:2017 specifies requirements for classification of solid wire electrodes, tubular cored electrodes, and electrode-flux combinations (the all-weld metal deposits) in the as-welded condition and in the post-weld heat-treated condition for submerged arc welding of high strength steels with a minimum yield strength greater than 500 MPa or a minimum tensile strength greater than 570 MPa. 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. This document is a combined specification providing for classification utilizing a system based on the yield strength and average impact energy of 47 J for the all-weld metal, or utilizing a system based on the tensile strength and average impact energy of 27 J for the all-weld metal. a) Clauses, subclauses and tables which carry the suffix letter "A" are applicable only to solid wire electrodes, tubular cored electrodes and the all-weld metal deposits classified to the system based on the yield strength and the average impact energy of 47 J for the all-weld metal obtained with electrode-flux combinations in accordance with this document. b) Clauses, subclauses and tables which carry the suffix letter "B" are applicable only to solid wire electrodes, tubular cored electrodes and the all-weld metal deposits classified to the system based on the tensile strength and the average impact energy of 27 J for the all-weld metal obtained with electrode-flux combinations in accordance with this document. c) Clauses, subclauses and tables which do not have either the suffix letter "A" or the suffix letter "B" are applicable to all solid wire electrodes, tubular cored electrodes and electrode-flux combinations classified in accordance with this document. For comparison purposes, some tables include requirements for electrodes classified in accordance with both systems, placing individual electrodes from the two systems, which are similar in composition and properties, on adjacent lines in the particular table. In a particular line of the table that is mandatory in one system, the symbol for the similar electrode from the other system is indicated in parentheses. By appropriate restriction of the formulation of a particular electrode, it is often, but not always, possible to produce an electrode that can be classified in both systems, in which case the electrode, or its packaging, can be marked with the classification in either or both systems.

Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives à la classification des fils-électrodes pleins, des fils-électrodes fourrés et des couples fils-flux (dépôts en métal fondu hors dilution), pour le soudage à l'arc sous flux des aciers à haute résistance ayant soit une limite d'élasticité minimale supérieure à 500 MPa, soit une résistance à la traction minimale supérieure à 570 MPa. Cette classification est basée pour les fils-électrodes pleins sur leur composition chimique, pour les fils électrodes fourrés, sur la composition chimique des dépôts obtenus avec un type de flux particulier et les couples fils flux sur la limite d'élasticité, la résistance à la traction et l'allongement à la rupture et la résistance à la traction du métal fondu hors dilution. Il existe d'autres normes relatives à la classification des fils électrodes pour le soudage à l'arc EN ISO 14171, EN ISO 14341, EN ISO 14343, EN ISO 21952, EN ISO 24598 et EN ISO 16834.
