Wondering about the ASME classification: Does metal core still come under GMAW? I was of the understanding they were talking about going like for like with CWB and MCAW would be covered under flux core.
Thanks in advance for your help
 
Metal cored and flux cored electrode wires come are referenmced under the GMAW process under QW-255 (FCAW also included) of ASME IX. They are also addressed under the GTAW process under QW-256 and QW-404.23, im which case, they are not electrodes.
 
Look at ASME Section II, Part C, (2013 Edition) AWS SFA standards.
 
Thank you for your help guys
