Abstract
This document updates IFS:1998, the first document that proposed to establish a generic
system for identification of welding filler metals for use in ISO specifications. Since that issue,additional ISO draft standards for welding filler metals have been prepared, many of which
have taken cognizance of the proposed generic system. In doing so, several refinements in the
generic system have been adopted. This document also recognizes revisions proposed in draftnational standards since the earlier edition. IIW representatives from Europe, Canada, Japan,
China, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Russia, and the United States collaborated in providing the
data from specifications in their respective countries.

Foreword
The American Welding Society (AWS) and other member societies of the International Institute of Welding(IIW) receive many inquiries concerning comparison classifications of filler metals produced in the industrialized
countries of the world. The cross-referencing of AWS classifications with those of foreign specifications was first
accomplished in AWS publication, International Specification Cross Reference List, IFS-87. Since then, the
standards of many individual European countries have been superceded by standards prepared by the EuropeanCommittee for Standardization, which is known by its acronym CEN (Comit Europenne de Normalization). In
addition, other national bodies have revised filler metal standards and have added new classifications.
During the past two decades, the IIW and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), through its
Committee ISO TC44/SC3, have been active in drafting international standards for welding consumables.The cross-referencing of specifications is becoming increasingly important in this era of multinational
enterprises. Like its predecessors, this publication in electronic format provides a listing of similar products that
may be expected to meet the requirements of different national and international specifications. Though similaritiesexist in the many such specifications, there are frequently significant differences in requirements. Caution should
be exercised in the selection of the reported comparable classifications. In critical applications or when engineering
or other codes exist in construction or repair activities, the applicable specifications of the selected alternate filler
metal should be reviewed for conformity with the applicable codes. Neither AWS nor IIW assumes responsibilityfor the accuracy of the comparisons. Fabricators should verify properties and compositions as part of a normal
quality assurance program.An index number is the basis for establishing the comparability of various classifications. This number,
described in detail in Annex A, is based upon what has been termed a generic system for filler metal
designations. The designations have been adopted in several recently drafted international specifications. Theindex number with the initials WFM (weld filler metal) appears in the first column in each of the tables and
becomes the cross-reference identification in the compilation of grades shown for each national specification.
Unlike its predecessor, the tables in the present electronic format allow the properties that define theclassification to appear in the same table with columnar headings for specifications with comparable filler metals.
The considerably larger tables no longer need to be divided into sizes that fit the printed page. The computer allows
the scrolling of such tables, permitting the user to view the portion of direct interest. Furthermore, the searching
capability enables the user to locate and address the portions of the tables needed.The principal tables are arranged first according to product type and then by welding process. For example,
the unalloyed carbon steels are in sequential tables, first as covered electrodes for SMAW, then as flux-cored wires
for flux cored arc welding (FCAW), and then as solid and composite (metal-cored) wires for submerged arcwelding (SAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). Likewise, low-alloysteels; stainless steels; nickel-, aluminum-, and titanium- alloys along with hard-facing and other surfacing alloys;
and cast iron filler metals are grouped together in sequential tables for the different welding processes.
Because national and international specifications are subject to frequent review and revision, this documentwill require updating from time to time. CEN specifications listed herein may have existed at the time of this
publication as provisional specifications (prEN) and are assumed to become EN specifications by dropping the
provisional designation. Similarly, revisions to AWS specifications that have not yet been published but are in
various stages of acceptance are included in the listings in this document. ISO specifications that at the time ofinclusion in this publication may have existed as Draft International Standards (DIS or FDIS) are presented without
the draft prefixes. Users of these tables must be aware that specifications that were in the draft stages before final
publication may be altered or classifications may be added or deleted from the final specifications.
Comments and inquiries concerning this publication are welcome. They should be sent to the Managing
Director, Technical Services Division, American Welding Society, 550 NW LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126.

Subcommission XIID of the International Institute of Welding, chaired by David Shackleton, initiated the
task of assigning the designations for welding filler metals in 1984 and appointed R. David Thomas, Jr. as
rapporteur. This task group was comprised of Raul Timerman (Argentina), Roger Daemon (Belgium), FritzWeyland (Germany), David Ellis (United Kingdom), Lea Roberts (Canada), and Damian Kotecki (United States).
In 1989, the task group sought and received acceptance of the generic system for filler metal designations at the
IIW Annual Assembly in Helsinki, Finland.11
In 1995 in Stockholm, Sweden, Commission XII agreed to the publication by the American Welding Society
of an index of filler metals classifications in national specifications. Following the publication ofInternational
Index of Welding Filler Metal Classifications IFS:1998, IIW Commission II agreed to undertake the revisions
needed to update this project. Many persons have contributed to the updating of this project. The AmericanWelding Society is especially pleased to acknowledge the efforts of the following persons.

Annex AWeld Filler Metal (WFM) Index Number and the Generic
System of Designations
The index system used in compiling the tables of comparable filler metals listed in various
national and international specifications in this project is identified as the weld filler metal
(WFM) number. It makes use of the designations, termed the Generic System.1
A1.0 Generic System
The designation system was initially developed by Commission XII of the International Institute
of Welding. Since 1998, the work has been carried out by Commission II. As the members of
these bodies have had greater involvement in international standards for welding filler metals,modifications became apparent. This section describes the generic system currently employed in
several of the draft ISO standards as it relates to the (WFM) index numbers.
A2.0 WFM Index
The index system begins with alpha digits to identify (1) the form of the filler metal and (2) thealloy system (the latter is omitted in the case of unalloyed and low-alloyed steels). The widelyknown letter E is used as the initial identifier for covered electrodes. Solid wires for the various
welding processes are identified by the initial letter S. The letter T identifies flux cored
welding wires and in many countries metal-cored wires as well. In the American WeldingSociety (AWS) system, however, tubular metal cored wires use the letter C and this identifier
has been adopted for the WFM system. Other less-used filler metal forms such as cast rods, R,
have distinct letter assignments for the initial designators. Many filler metals, such as stainlesssteel and nickel alloys, are most frequently supplied as solid wire, (S in the solid wire tables)
but are also supplied as strip, which in the WFM system carries the initial digit B.
For all except unalloyed and low-alloy steels, the second alpha digit identifies the alloy system.These initial designators are set forth in Table A1.

The WFM index designators that follow the initial letters depend on the properties thatdefine the classifications. In alloy systems other than steels, the significant property is the
composition of the filler metal or the weld deposit.
A2.1 Unalloyed Carbon Steels
A2.1.1 Covered Electrodes
For covered electrodes, the mechanical properties of the weld deposit are the means by
which classifications are distinguished, with numbers assigned to represent the minimum
tensile strength and, in many cases, the Charpy-V impact temperature. The usability ofthe electrode is defined by the two-digit numbers following the mechanical property
designators, as shown in Table A2. Figure A1 illustrates how these properties are
distinguished by the WFM index number. The optional designators are not used in theWFM system but are shown since they appear in many specifications.

2.1.2 Solid and Composite Wires
The solid wires for unalloyed steels used in submerged arc welding, gas shielded metal arcwelding, and tungsten arc welding all have the initial S designator, as shown in Table
A1. If similar products are furnished in metal cored tubular (composite) form, the initial
designator is C. The following three digits define the manganese, carbon, and siliconcontents, leaving the fourth digit available for microalloying or special deoxidizing
elements such as titanium, aluminum, or zirconium.

2.1.3 Flux Cored WiresFor unalloyed flux cored wire, the WFM number must take into account not only themechanical properties as for covered electrodes (tensile strength and impact temperature),
but also the type of core ingredients. The designators used are illustrated in Figure A3.
Figure A3 Designation System for Carbon Steel Flux cored Wires
The properties are in the as-welded condition unless the letter P is appended (notapplicable to chromium-molybdenum steels where all properties are in the postweld heat
treatment condition). In order to conform to the proposed ISO specifications with the B
cohabitation designations, the type of core ingredients and the recommended applicationby which it is classified (positionality, shielding, and current) are defined by a
designation familiar in the Americas and in many Pacific Rim countries. Table A3
provides the principal attributes of these designators.

A2.2 Low Alloy Steels
The two attributes for classifying low alloy steel weld metals require tests not only formechanical properties, as in unalloyed steels, but also for alloy composition. The WFM numbers
incorporate both criteria in the designations: first, the mechanical properties as shown in Figures
A1 and A3, and subsequently the alloy composition. For solid low alloy steel wires, which areused for the several arc welding processes including submerged arc welding (SAW), gas metal
arc welding (GMAW), and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), among others, the manganese,carbon and silicon levels are defined as shown in Figure A2, and the composition designator is
appended.
The WFM system adopts a principle devised recently for the B section of ISO co-habitation
drafts. Unlike previous designation systems used in IFS: 1998, a new system was developed that
makes use of the same designation for similar compositions in each filler metal formelectrodes, bare wire, flux cored wire, etc. Figure A4 illustrates the methods used in establishing
this new designation system.

A2.4 Nickel Alloys
A confusing system of designations for nickel alloy welding filler metals has evolved over the
years with designations making use of the element symbols. Recent draft ISO specifications have
adopted a four-digit numbering system based upon the five-digit Unified Numbering System
(UNS) numbers.
In the UNS system, many of the types have zero as the initial digit, making it sensible to dropthat digit for the WFM and ISO draft designations. Where nickel alloys contain over 15% Mo,
the UNS system uses an initial 1, usually followed by a zero. The ISO 9722 for wrought nickel
alloys also adopted the four-digits of the UNS numbers, but for the high molybdenum alloys, thisspecification drops the first digit 1, causing the remaining digits to begin with 0.
Recognizing that designations, such as 0003, would no longer be four-digits in common usage
where initial zeros are normally dropped, the filler metal ISO draft standards retained the initial1 for the four-digit designations and dropped either a zero or another digit when making use of
the UNS system.
The number assignment recognizes the desirability of having numbers for welding filler metals tobe similar to the wrought metals most commonly welded. A conscious effort has been made to
adopt the ISO 9722 numbers wherever possible. In many cases (though not all), the four-digit
number includes the common trade designation, e.g., ENi 0276 = Hastelloy C-276. Examples ofdesignations are shown in Table A3.

*The initial N denotes solid wire; for covered electrodes and flux cored wires, however, a similar numeric digits is
used starting with "W8" and followed by the final four digits.
This Ni-Cr-Mo alloy fits more closely with other Ni-Cr-Mo alloys, having the initial 6, than with the NiMoalloys, having the initial 0.
Flux cored nickel alloy wires make use of the same four-digit designations following the initial
TNi, after which the designations x and y are added to define the gas shielding, if any, andthe usability, respectively.

A2.5 Aluminum Alloys
The designation of aluminum alloy filler metals has been made relatively easy by the four-digit
system established for many years by the Aluminum Association, and used around the world. In
the UNS system, the five-digit numbers for welding filler metals utilizes 9 for the initial digit,
which is eliminated in the WFM four-digit numbering system. The cast alloys, whose tradedesignations are quite different, are assigned UNS numbers with other initial designators and
make use of cast rod initial designator R if produced as cast rods or S if produced in the
form of drawn wire. In conformance with other non-iron base alloys, the WFM system uses Alfor the alloy designator to match that in the ISO standard rather than simply A as previously
proposed in the generic system. It then applies the most significant four digits of the UNS
numbers for its designation, as shown by examples in Table A4.

A2.6 Copper Alloys (New)
Like the previous nonferrous alloys, the designators for copper alloys make use of the UNS

A2.7 Titanium Alloys (New)
As for the other nonferrous alloys, titanium alloys lend themselves easily to make use of the UNS
numbering system. UNS numbers for titanium alloys are assigned in the R-series for reactive
metals; these all have the numbers R5xxxx. As this project is nearing completion, AWS
A5.16/A5.16M is in draft form and includes many more filler metals than its predecessor, and
these are included in Table 15. UNS number assignments to the new alloys are being establishedto closely match the ASTM wrought alloys. A work item has been established to draft the ISO
specification shown in this Table 15 as ISO 99999 using a designation system shown in TableA6.

2.8 Hard Facing and Other Surfacing Alloys (New)
Filler metal standards for this group of materials have arisen over the past half-century from alarge number of proprietary compositions having a variety of properties to meet specific
industrial needs. Attempts to classify them have been problematic. For Tables 13 and 14,
composition has been the primary means of indexing; many of the iron-based compositions have
very little overlap by which to ascertain comparable materials in the several nationalspecifications, making the number of classifications large. The listings in the several tables are
then assigned similar index numbers for roughly comparable hardness and compositions, at least
in the principal alloys used for comparable applications.
These tables are offered as an information source for groups intending to prepare ISO standardsfor this class of welding materials. In the mid-1990s, IIW Commission II began a study thatfocused on the microstructure of the deposits. Microstructure and hardness thus appeared to be
properties whereby comparable materials could be classified. These properties became theprimary basis for assigning index (WFM) numbers in these tables. Table A7 summarizes the
microstructures set forth in the IIW study3
and the WFM numbers assigned to the defined
properties.

The European Community is currently studying existing standards to determine the feasibility of
establishing an EN standard, and possibly an ISO standard based thereon. One such standard thathas existed for a long time is the German document DIN 8555. The compositions in this
specification have broad ranges as shown in Table A8. Another source document is a preliminary
study conducted by the European CEN group designated N541. Since one of the purposes of thisproject is to facilitate standardization of welding filler metals, the columns marked Europe list
these existing documents which may form a basis for standardization efforts.

In the United States, the AWS Committee on Filler Metals and Allied Materials has recentlyupdated its specifications, which made necessary the redefining of the scope of the two
standards. The document AWS A5.13/A5.13M now includes all covered electrodes, and
A5.21/A5.21M has both solid wires and composite (both metal cored and flux cored) wires.
Likewise, for this project, Tables 13 and 14 are divided between covered electrodes and bare(solid and composite) wires, respectively. In the WFM designation system as shown in Table A1,
the initial letter for composite wires is T, if flux cored wire, or C, if metal cored wire.

A2.9 Filler Metals for Cast Iron (New)
As for the hard surfacing alloys, the filler metals for welding and repairing cast iron are
conveniently classified by their weld metals structure. Most standards for these materials, notably
ISO 1071, include all forms of filler metalcovered electrodes, cast rods, solid and tubularwires. To accommodate the WFM indexing system, three separate tables are used, one for
covered electrodes with the initial designator, E, one for composite wires or rods with theinitial designator T (whether flux cored or metal cored), and one for solid wire and cast rods
with initial designators S and R, respectively.
In order to avoid any possible conflict confusing these materials with filler metals for the joining
of wrought metals, the initial designators are followed by CI (see Table A1) with spaces
separating the CI from the initial letter and from the following numeric designators. Theselatter numbers do not relate to UNS or any other known system but are arbitrarily assigned to
similar materials, as shown in Table A9.
