Lincolnweld® LA-85 (LNS 165) Electrode
Classification: F8A6-ENi5-Ni5-H4
Specification: AWS A5.23:2011, ASME SFA-5.23
Date December 04, 2014
This is to certify that the product named above and supplied on the referenced order number is of the same classification, manufacturing process, and material
requirements as the material which was used for the test that was concluded on the date shown, the results of which are shown below. All tests required by the
specifications shown for classification were performed at that time and the material tested met all requirements. It was manufactured and supplied according to
the Quality System Program of the Lincoln Electric Company, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A., which meets the requirements of ISO9001, NCA3800, AWS A5.01, and
other specification and Military requirements, as applicable. The Quality System Program has been approved by ASME, ABS, and VdTUV.
