What is ISO 17927-2 about?
ISO 17927-2 is the second part of a multi-series standard that covers welding for aerospace applications.
ISO 17927-2 specifies symbols, abbreviated terms, conformance, acceptance criteria for fusion weldments on metallic components. It is to be applied to the processes, provided that, it is referenced or approved by the responsible engineering/design authority.
ISO 17927‑2 covers the following fusion welding processes:
- Oxyfuel welding
- Gas-shielded arc welding with non-consumable tungsten electrode, Gas tungsten arc welding
- Plasma arc welding
- Electron beam welding
- Laser welding, Laser beam welding
Who is ISO 17927-2 for?
ISO 17927-2 on welding for aerospace applications is applicable to:
- Space research organizations
- Aerospace manufacturers
- Design engineers and Engineering authorities in aerospace
- Quality engineers and Quality accessors in aerospace
Why should you use ISO 17927-2?
Fusion welding is a process in which, the source generates an adequate amount of heat energy to create and maintain a molten pool of metal of the required size.
ISO 17927‑2 helps you to design fusion welding of critical components and hardware for aerospace applications. Welding for aerospace components is a critical process and presents some different challenges as compared to normal fusion welding.
ISO 17927-2 assists design engineers and authorities in determining the appropriate fusion welding procedure for a specific aerospace component and hardware.
The quality of fusion welding of aerospace hardware should be high because the aerospace components and hardware is used in space environments. They are directly associated with the safety of human life present in space or traveling through space. Adhering to ISO 17927-2 standard requirements ensures superior quality in welded assemblies for aerospace.
