 a. As welded mechanical properties, see AWS A5.18 for more details.
 b. CO2 = carbon dioxide shielding gas. The use of CO2 for classification purposes shall not be construed to restrict the use of Argon-CO2 or
 argon-O2 shielding gas mixtures. A filler metal classified with CO2 will also meet the requirement of this specification when used with Argon-
 CO2 or Argon-O2 mixtures.
 c. Mechanical Properties as determined from all-welded-metal tension test specimen.
 d. For each increase of one percentage point in elongation over the minimum, the tensile strength, or the yield strength, or both may decrease
 1000 psi (0 MPa) to a minimum of 70,000 psi (480 MPa) for the tensile strength and 58,000 psi (400 MPa) for the yield strength.
 e. As agreed between supplier and purchaser.
