SFA-5.15: Specification for Cast Iron Welding Rods and Electrodes

This specification includes the requirement for bare electrodes and rods, covered electrodes, and flux cored electrodes used for cast iron welding. It is one of the few specifications that include all the welding material product forms in one location. Bare wire is either used as a rod for OFW or as an electrode for GMAW, flux-cored electrodes (metal powder and flux within a metal sheath) are used for flux cored arc welding (FCAW), and the covered electrodes are used for SMAW. Materials in this specification are intended for welding or welding repair of gray, malleable, nodular, compacted-graphite, and some alloy-type cast irons. Welding materials classified in this specification have limited (if any) ASME Code applications.
