What is ISO 24034 about?
ISO 24034 is an international standard that covers the health and safety in welding and allied processes.
ISO 24034 specifies requirements for the classification of solid wire electrodes, solid wires, and rods for fusion welding of titanium and titanium alloys. The classification is based on their chemical composition.
ISO 24034 describes the compositions of solid wire electrodes for metal inert gas (MIG) welding are the same as solid wire electrodes, solid wires, and rods for tungsten inert gas (TIG) arc welding, plasma arc welding, laser beam welding, and another fusion welding of titanium and titanium alloys processes.
Who is ISO 24034 for?
ISO 24034 on fusion welding of titanium and titanium alloys is applicable to:
- Construction, automotive, mechanical Industries
- Welding consumables manufacturers
- Sheet metal manufacturers
- Manufacturers of pressure vessels
- Manufacturers of aircraft & aerospace
- Shipbuilding industry
- Welding equipment manufacturers
Why should you use ISO 24034?
For consistency in composition and properties between welding consumables from a variety of manufacturers, classification of welding consumables is necessary according to chemical compositions.
ISO 24034 serves the purpose of classification of welding consumables like solid wire electrodes, solid wires, and rods for standardizations of the fusion welding of titanium and titanium alloys. This improves the efficiency and reliability of fusion welding of titanium and titanium alloys operations.
ISO 24034 helps you with guidelines to manufacture high-quality fusion welding of titanium and titanium alloys by providing standard classification in terms of the chemical composition of solid wire electrodes, solid wires, and rods. This helps you choose the suitable alloy group for the required application for various purposes.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN ISO 24034:2020 supersedes BS EN ISO 24034:2010, which is withdrawn. BS EN ISO 24034:2020 includes the following technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- A number of alloys in Table 1 have been updated
- A number of typographical errors in Table 1 and Table B.1 have been corrected
- Clause 8 has been updated to reflect the current agreed wording
- In Clause 11, the words “Solid wire” have been deleted from each example designation
- The last sentence of the second paragraph of A.1 has been deleted to align with A.15
