Specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials. Qualification based on tested welding consumables. | Status: Current

1 Scope This document specifies how a welding procedure can be qualified by using tested welding consumable data. It expands on the requirements given in ISO 15607. In addition, it gives the range of qualification. This document is applicable to the welding processes according to Table 1. Table 1 — Applicable welding processes Process number according to ISO 4063:2023 Welding process 111 Manual metal arc welding 114 Self-shielded tubular cored arc welding 121 Submerged arc welding with solid wire electrode 131 MIG welding with solid wire electrode 132 MIG welding with flux cored electrode 133 MIG welding with metal cored electrode 135 MAG welding with solid wire electrode 136 MAG welding with flux cored electrode 138 MAG welding with metal cored electrode 141 TIG welding with solid filler material 15 Plasma arc welding 311 Oxyacetylene welding Application of this document is limited to parent material groups 1.1, 8.1, 21, 22.1 and 22.2 in accordance with ISO/TR 15608, which produce acceptable microstructures and properties in the heat-affected zone which do not deteriorate significantly in service. This document is limited to:

• — butt welds and fillet welds in material of thicknesses t ≤ 40 mm (groups 1.1 and 8.1) and t ≤ 20 mm (groups 21, 22.1 and 22.2);
• — fillet welds with throat thickness a ≥ 1 mm.

This document is not applicable when any of the following is specified for the welded joint:

1. a) hardness;
2. b) impact properties;
3. c) preheating;
4. d) controlled heat input;
5. e) interpass temperature;
6. f) post-weld heat treatment.

The use of this document can also be restricted by an application standard, specification or other documents.
