AWS A5.14/A5.14M: 2024 [paper]

Prescribes requirements for the classification of bare nickel and nickel-alloy welding electrodes, strip electrodes, and welding rods. It includes those compositions where the nickel content exceeds that of any other element.

The chemical compositions of 57 nickel and nickel-alloy welding electrodes and rods are specified, including six compositions not previously classified. Major topics include general requirements, testing, packaging, and application guidelines. This specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the International System of Units (SI). Since these are not equivalent, each system must be used independently of the other.
