This Standard specifies the stainless steel covered electrodes (hereafter referred to
as "electrodes") which generate the deposited metal of not less than 11% of chromium
(mass fraction) and not more than 37 % of nickel (mass fraction).
NOTE : The International Standard corresponding to this Standard is as follows.
ISO 3581:2003 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.
