 a. The minimum weight % of copper in the rod or electrode due to any coating plus the residual copper content in the steel shall be 0.50 %.
 b. Nickel, chromium, molybdenum and vanadium may be present but are not intentionally added.
 c. In this classification, the maximum manganese may exceed 2.0 %. If it does, the maximum carbon must be reduced 0.01 % for each
 0.05 % increase in manganese or part thereof.
 d. For this classification, there are no chemical requirements for the elements listed, with the exception that there shall be no intentional
 additional of nickel, chromium, molybdenum and vanadium.
 Single values shown are maximum, unless otherwise specified.
