Form: This specification covers a low-alloy steel in the form of welding wire. Application: This wire has been used typically as filler metal for gas-tungsten-arc and gas-metal-arc welding of critical weldments of low-alloy steels where the joint is capable of being heat treated to 180 ksi (1241 MPa) minimum tensile strength@ but usage is not limited to such applications. Classification: Wire shall be classified as follows: Type 1 - Bare Wire Type 2 - Copper Coated Type 1 shall be supplied unless Type 2 is specified.
