Introduction
This International Standard provides a classification system for tubular cored electrodes in terms of
tensile properties, impact properties, chemical composition of the all-weld metal, type of electrode
core, shielding gas, and welding position. The ratio of yield to tensile strength of weld metal is generally
higher than that of the parent metal. Matching weld metal yield strength to parent metal yield strength
will not necessarily ensure that the weld metal tensile strength matches that of the parent metal. Where
the application requires matching tensile strengths, selection of consumables is made by reference to
column 3 of Table 1A or Table 1B.
Of note is that the mechanical properties of all-weld metal test specimens used to classify the tubular
cored electrodes will vary from those obtained in production joints because of the differences in welding
procedure such as electrode size, width of weave, welding position, and parent metal composition.
The classification in accordance with system A is mainly based on EN 758:1997. The classification in
accordance with system B is mainly based upon standards used around the Pacific Rim.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 17632:2015(E)
Welding consumables — Tubular cored electrodes for gas
shielded and non-gas shielded metal arc welding of non-
alloy and fine grain steels — Classification
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies requirements for classification of tubular cored electrodes
with or without a gas shield for metal arc welding of non-alloy and fine grain steels in the as-welded
condition or in the post-weld heat-treated condition with a minimum yield strength of up to 500 MPa or
a minimum tensile strength of up to 570 MPa. One tubular cored electrode can be tested and classified
with different shielding gases, if any.
This International Standard is a combined specification providing classification utilizing a system
based upon the yield strength and the average impact energy of 47 J of all-weld metal or utilizing a
system based upon the tensile strength and the average impact energy of 27 J of all-weld metal.
1) Paragraphs and tables which carry the suffix letter “A” are applicable only to tubular cored
electrodes classified to the system based upon the yield strength and the average impact energy of
47 J of all-weld metal in accordance with this International Standard.
2) Paragraphs and tables which carry the suffix letter “B” are applicable only to tubular cored
electrodes classified to the system based upon the tensile strength and the average impact energy
of 27 J of all-weld metal in accordance with this International Standard.
3) Paragraphs and tables which have neither the suffix letter “A” nor the suffix letter “B” are applicable
to all tubular cored electrodes classified in accordance with this International Standard.
It is recognized that the operating characteristics of tubular cored electrodes can be modified by the use
of pulsed current, but for the purposes of this International Standard, pulsed current is not permitted
for determining the electrode classification.

3 Classification
Classification designations are based upon two approaches to indicate the tensile properties and the
impact properties of the all-weld metal obtained with a given electrode. The two designation approaches
include additional designators for some other classification requirements, but not all as will be clear
from the following. In most cases, a given commercial product can be classified in both systems. Then,
either or both classification designations can be used for the product (see Annex A).
The classification includes all-weld metal properties obtained with a tubular cored electrode and
appropriate shielding gas combination as given below. With the exception of the symbol for welding
position which is based on ISO 15792-3, the classification of gas shielded tubular cored electrodes
is based on the 1,2 mm electrode size or if this size is not manufactured, the next larger diameter
manufactured. The classification of self-shielded tubular cored electrodes is based on the 2,4 mm
diameter or the largest diameter manufactured if less than 2,4 mm.
3.1A Classification by yield strength and 3.1B Classification by tensile strength and
47 J impact energy 27 J impact energy
The classification is divided into eight parts. The classification is divided into nine parts.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an

Introduction
This International Standard provides a classification system for tubular cored electrodes in terms of tensile
properties, impact properties, chemical composition of the all-weld metal, type of electrode core, shielding gas
and welding position. The ratio of yield to tensile strength of weld metal is generally higher than that of parent
metal. Users should note that matching weld metal yield strength to parent metal yield strength will not
necessarily ensure that the weld metal tensile strength matches that of the parent metal. Where the
application requires matching tensile strength, therefore, selection of the consumable should be made by
reference to column 3 of Table 1A or Table 1B.
It should be noted that the mechanical properties of all-weld metal test specimens used to classify the tubular
cored electrodes will vary from those obtained in production joints because of differences in welding
procedure such as electrode size, width of weave, welding position and parent metal composition.
The classification according to system A is mainly based on EN 758:1997, Welding consumables — Tubular
cored electrodes for metal arc welding with and without a gas shield of non alloy and fine grain steels —
Classification. The classification according to system B is mainly based upon standards used around the
Pacific Rim.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 17632
Welding consumables — Tubular cored electrodes for gas
shielded and non-gas shielded metal arc welding of non-alloy
and fine grain steels — Classification
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies requirements for classification of tubular cored electrodes with or without
a gas shield for metal arc welding of non-alloy and fine grain steels in the as-welded condition or in the post-
weld heat-treated condition with a minimum yield strength of up to 500 MPa or a minimum tensile strength of
up to 570 MPa. One tubular cored electrode can be tested and classified with different shielding gases, if any.
This International Standard is a combined specification providing classification utilizing a system based upon
the yield strength and the average impact energy of 47 J of all-weld metal, or utilizing a system based upon
the tensile strength and the average impact energy of 27 J of all-weld metal.
1) Paragraphs and tables which carry the suffix letter “A” are applicable only to tubular cored electrodes
classified to the system based upon the yield strength and the average impact energy of 47 J of all-
weld metal in accordance with this International Standard.
2) Paragraphs and tables which carry the suffix letter “B” are applicable only to tubular cored electrodes
classified to the system based upon the tensile strength and the average impact energy of 27 J of all-
weld metal in accordance with this International Standard.
3) Paragraphs and tables which have neither the suffix letter “A” nor the suffix letter “B” are applicable
to all tubular cored electrodes classified in accordance with this International Standard.
It is recognized that the operating characteristics of tubular cored electrodes can be modified by the use of
pulsed current, but for the purposes of this International Standard, pulsed current is not permitted for
determining the electrode classification.

3 Classification
Classification designations are based upon two approaches to indicate the tensile properties and the impact
properties of the all-weld metal obtained with a given electrode. The two designation approaches include
additional designators for some other classification requirements, but not all, as will be clear from the following.
In most cases, a given commercial product can be classified in both systems. Then either or both
classification designations can be used for the product. See Annex A.
The classification includes all-weld metal properties obtained with a tubular cored electrode and appropriate
shielding gas combination as given below. With the exception of the symbol for welding position which is
based on ISO 15792-3, the classification of gas shielded tubular cored electrodes is based on the 1,2 mm
electrode size or, if this size is not manufactured, the next larger diameter manufactured. The classification of
self-shielded tubular cored electrodes is based on the 2,4 mm diameter or the largest diameter manufactured
if less than 2,4 mm.
3.1A Classification by yield strength and 47 J 3.1B Classification by tensile strength and
impact energy 27 J impact energy
The classification is divided into eight parts: The classification is divided into nine parts:
1) the first part (T) indicates a tubular cored 1) the first part (T) indicates a tubular cored
