Wires, rods, tubes, plates, electrodes of base metal or metal carbides; of a kind used for soldering, brazing, welding; wires and rods for metal spraying
In plain English
This category includes wires, rods, tubes, plates, and electrodes made from base metal or metal carbides that are designed for soldering, brazing, welding, or metal spraying. Specific types of these items are distinguished by their construction and intended welding method. Some are solid electrodes or cored wires specifically for electric arc-welding, while others are coated rods or cored wires meant for flame-based soldering, brazing, or welding. Any other wires, rods, tubes, plates, or electrodes of this kind that do not fit the specific descriptions above fall into the remaining category.
