BS EN ISO 12932:2013

Welding. Laser-arc hybrid welding of steels, nickel and nickel alloys. Quality levels for imperfections. | Status: Current, Confirmed

1 Scope This International Standard specifies quality levels of imperfections in laser-arc hybrid welded joints for all types of steel, nickel and its alloys. It applies to material thickness ≥0,5 mm. Three quality levels are given in order to permit application for a wide range of welded fabrication. They are designated by B, C and D. Quality level B corresponds to the highest requirement on the finished weld. The quality levels refer to production quality and not to the fitness-for-purpose (see 3.3) of the product manufactured.
