The first two digits of a 4-digit number and the first three digits of a 5-digit number stand for tensile strength. The next to last digit indicates position. So, “1” stands for an all position electrode, “2” for a flat and horizontal electrode, and “4” for a flat, horizontal, vertical down and overhead electrode. The last two digits specify the type of coating and the welding current WI Wrought Iron We will try to keep the list in alphabetical order for ease of use. If you see any more, please post them so we can add them to the list. The post will then be taken off line in order to keep the list and thread clean and to the point.

In the Abbreviations above shows "N" to represent "Normally". I have seen this usually used as "naturally" aspirated. Are these terms interchangeable?

Glenn Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 Yes. Similar to cars, a naturally aspirated engine, sometimes known as a normally aspirated engine, is an internal combustion engine in which oxygen intake depends solely on atmospheric pressure and does not rely on forced induction through a turbocharger or a supercharger.
