ASME A Numbers These refer to the chemical analysis of the deposited weld and not the parent material. They only apply to welding procedures in steel materials.

A1 Plain unalloyed carbon manganese steels. A2 to A4 Low alloy steels containing Moly and Chrome Moly A8 Austenitic stainless steels such as type 316. ASME Welding Positions Note the welding progression, (vertically upwards or downwards), must always be stated and it is an essential variable for both procedures and performance qualifications.
