What is ISO/TR 20174 about?
ISO/TR 20174 provides a Japanese grouping system for materials for welding purposes, classified in accordance with the grouping system of ISO/TR 15608. ISO/TR 20174 is applicable for other purposes, such as heat treatment, forming, and non-destructive testing.
ISO/TR 20174 covers grouping systems for the following standardized materials:
- Steels
- Aluminium and its alloys
- Titanium and its alloys
The types of aluminium and aluminium alloys are listed in Table 2 in accordance with the grouping system of ISO/TR 15608:2017. and Types of titanium and titanium alloys are given in Table 5 in accordance with the ISO/TR 15608:2017 grouping system.
Who is ISO/TR 20174 for?
ISO/TR 20174 on Japanese materials for welding is applicable to:
- Construction, automotive, mechanical Industries
- Sheet metal manufacturers
- Manufacturers of pressure vessels
- Manufacturers of aircraft & aerospace
- Shipbuilding industry
- Welding equipment manufacturers
Why should you use ISO/TR 20174?
It is important to classify and group Japanese materials for welding purposes. The use of material classification and grouping for welding purposes in accordance with ISO/TR 20174 improves the efficiency of welding operations in manufacturing and fabrication.
ISO/TR 20174 Helps design engineers to design cost-effective products by choosing appropriate standard classified Japanese material according to market demand and best industry practice ISO/TR 20174 aids design engineers to communicate design requirements for a particular manufacturing process and product.
With a better classification of materials, you will be able to determine the chemical composition and mechanical qualities of the material, ISO/TR 20174 allows you to manufacture the high- quality welding products.
