scope:

This Standard specifies requirements for stainless steel covered electrodes (hereafter referred to as electrodes) which generate the deposited metal of chromium not less than 11.0 % (mass fraction) and nickel not more than 37.0 % (mass fraction).

NOTE 1 Requirements for electrodes having low-temperature toughness at -196 °C are specified in JIS Z 3227.

NOTE 2 The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows.

ISO 3581 : 2016 Welding consumables - Covered electrodes for manual metal arc welding of stainless and heat-resisting steels - Classification (MOD)

In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/IEC Guide 21-1.
