SAE AMS5695G-2000 PDF

Full title and description

SAE AMS5695G-2000 — Steel, Corrosion and Heat Resistant, Covered Welding Electrodes, nominal composition 25Cr–20Ni. This aerospace material specification defines covered (coated) manual welding electrodes intended to deposit corrosion‑ and heat‑resistant weld metal for high‑alloy steels with approximate composition 25% chromium, 20% nickel. The AMS5695G revision is dated 2000 and the document was later cancelled.

Abstract

This specification covers the chemical and metallurgical requirements, manufacturing and identification requirements, quality and acceptance tests, and marking/packaging instructions for covered welding electrodes of the 25Cr–20Ni class. It is intended to ensure consistent weld metal composition and mechanical properties when welding corrosion‑ and heat‑resistant steels used in aerospace and high‑temperature applications.

Scope

Applies to covered (coated) stick (SMAW) welding electrodes manufactured to deposit weld metal of the 25Cr–20Ni composition for use on corrosion‑ and heat‑resistant steels. The standard sets requirements for chemistry, mechanical properties of deposited weld metal, electrode coating type and condition, manufacturing and inspection, identification, packaging, and acceptance testing. Note: the AMS5695G document itself has been cancelled; users should confirm current procurement and qualification requirements where continuity of supply or regulatory acceptance is required.

Key topics and requirements

• Designated weld‑metal chemistry: nominal 25% Cr, 20% Ni (control of alloying elements and limits for C, Si, Mn, Fe, etc.).
• Mechanical property requirements for deposited weld metal (tensile and, where specified, impact/bend tests and acceptable ranges).
• Electrode coating classification, manufacture, drying/re‑dry procedures and handling to ensure weldability and hydrogen control.
• Chemical analysis and metallurgical examination methods for acceptance (sampling, laboratory tests, and acceptance criteria).
• Identification, marking, packaging and lot traceability requirements for procurement and inspection.
• Quality assurance: producer certification, lot testing, and acceptance sampling plans for delivered lots.
• Recommended welding parameters (current type/polarity, amperage ranges by electrode diameter) and typical welding practice notes for SMAW.

Typical use and users

Used by aerospace and defense OEMs, repair and overhaul facilities, high‑temperature process equipment manufacturers, power generation and chemical processing fabricators, welding consumable producers, and quality/inspection engineers who require specified corrosion/heat‑resistant weld deposits. Typical applications include repair welding, fabrication of corrosion/heat‑resistant assemblies, and any application where matching weld‑metal chemistry and performance to 25Cr–20Ni materials is required.

Related standards

Relevant or complementary documents include earlier and later revisions of the AMS5695 series (A through F and G), international classification standards for covered electrodes such as ISO 3581 (classification for covered electrodes for stainless and heat‑resisting steels), and industry welding consumable specifications such as AWS A5.11 (nickel and nickel‑alloy covered electrodes) and other AWS/ASTM welding‑consumable standards. For current procurement or qualification, consult the latest AWS/ISO documents and SAE Mobilus/ANSI catalog entries to identify active replacements or equivalent classifications.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers electrode chemistry and composition limits, required mechanical properties of deposited weld metal, coating type and condition, manufacturing and inspection requirements, identification/marking, packaging, and acceptance testing for covered electrodes intended for welding corrosion/heat‑resistant steels.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Aerospace manufacturers and maintenance/repair organizations, welding consumable manufacturers, power and chemical process fabricators, and quality/inspection personnel who must procure or qualify covered electrodes for corrosion‑ and heat‑resistant steel applications.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: AMS5695G is listed as cancelled/noncurrent (cancellation recorded June 1, 2000). Users should not assume procurement availability or regulatory acceptance without checking current SAE Mobilus/ANSI records and applicable industry standards; alternatives or equivalent modern classifications may be found in AWS and ISO specifications.
