3 Model Classification
3.1 The model of electrodes may be classified according to chemical composition of metal deposit, type of electrode coating, welding position as well as category of welding current. See Table 1 and Table 2.
3.2 Model specification
The letter "E" refers to electrodes and the number following "E" shows the classification code of chemical composition in deposited metal; in case of chemical composition with special requirements, it will be expressed by its element symbol following the number. The two numbers following the short dash "-" indicate type of electrode coating, welding position and category of welding current.
