Rebar Welding

[KimWT]

I have some questions about the welding electrode.
When I weld A706, Gr 60 rebar to A36 bearing plate, I think I can use E70 electrode.
If I replace the bearing plate with A706 rebar, should I use E80 to weld rebars according to AWS1.4 Table 5.1?
Is there any way to use E70 electrode like increasing welding size?

I am looking forward to your input!

Thanks!

E7018's should work... have to make sure your rebar is weldable.

Call everyone!....call the EOR, AWS, PCI, if precast, ACI if not, is the structure for a public agency?,...call the agency, they probably have internal requirements as well. I think PCI says no 70ksi rods,....even though they used to allow 70ksi rods but you had to lay down more weld to get your capacity. I didn't help one bit.

SSH... but, it was a funny response...
