BS EN ISO 14343:2009 Welding consumables — Wire electrodes, strip electrodes, wires and rods for arc welding of stainless and heat resisting steels — Classification
BS EN ISO 14343 specifies requirements for classification of wire electrodes, strip electrodes, wires and rods for various types of welding. It covers gas-shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, plasma arc welding, submerged arc welding, electroslag welding and laser beam welding of stainless and heat-resisting steels. The classification of the wire electrodes, strip electrodes, wires and rods is based upon their chemical composition.
BS EN ISO 14343 is a combined specification providing for classification utilizing a system based upon nominal composition, or utilizing a system based upon alloy type.
