Short symbol for manual arc welding |
| 2 |
Short name for chemical structure of the weld metal. The alloy components (approximate values) are listed in the order Cr, Ni, Mo numerically one after another without their chemical symbols. Alloy components like niob and copper are added as their chemical symbol without specification of their contents. Mangan as alloy component is listed as chemical symbol only if its content exceeds 5 % of the total weight. The addition L indicates a very low carbon content.

Type of coating |
| R |
Rutile type
These rod electrodes contain titanium oxide as main component in their coating, mostly in rutile form.
|
| B |
Basic type
The coating contains a high proportion of calcium or other alkaline earth metal carbonates and fluorspar. |
| MP |
Alloy-coating type
Alloy-coating high-performance electrodes need to be marked with the short symbol MP for metal powder before the short symbol for coating type, e. g. MP R. |
