This document specifies quality levels of imperfections in fusion-welded joints (except for beam welding) in all types of steel, nickel, titanium and their alloys. It applies to material thickness ≥ 0,5 mm.  It covers fully penetrated butt welds and all fillet welds. Its principles can also be applied to partial penetration

butt welds. Quality levels for beam-welded joints in steel are presented in ISO 13919-1.

Three quality levels are given in order to permit application to a wide range of welded fabrication. They are designated by symbols B, C and D. Quality level B corresponds to the highest requirement on the finished weld.  Several types of loads are considered, e.g. static load, thermal load, corrosion load, pressure load.

Additional guidance on fatigue loads is given in Annex B. The quality levels refer to production and good workmanship.

This document is applicable to:

a) non-alloy and alloy steels;

b) nickel and nickel alloys;

c) titanium and titanium alloys;

d) manual, mechanized and automatic welding;

e) all welding positions;

f) all types of welds, e.g. butt welds, fillet welds and branch connections;

g) the following welding processes and their sub-processes, as defined in ISO 4063:

— 11 metal arc welding without gas protection;

— 12 submerged arc welding;

— 13 gas-shielded metal arc welding;

— 14 gas-shielded arc welding with non-consumable tungsten electrode;

— 15 plasma arc welding;

— 31 oxyfuel gas welding (for steel only).

Metallurgical aspects, such as grain size and hardness, are not covered by this document.

This specifies designations for filler materials for soft soldering, brazing and braze welding, on the basis of their chemical composition. For brazing and braze welding materials only, the designation includes their solidus /liquidus temperatures.  It deals only with those filler metals used in soft soldering, brazing and braze welding which do not incorporate flux, either as a covering or as an integral part of the filler material.

This document specifies designations for filler materials for brazing on the basis of their chemical composition. The designation includes their solidus/liquidus temperatures. This document applies to the metallic part of filler materials used in brazing products, for example foils, wires, rods, pastes, flux-coated rods or wires and flux-cored rods or wires.

 This standard specifies a test method for determining the acceptance limits of surface discontinuities detected by magnetic particle inspection, when such an inspection procedure has been contractually agreed upon at the request of the purchaser.  It applies to all magnetic steel castings; whatever casting process is used.  A steel shall be considered to be magnetic if the magnetic induction is greater than 1 T for a magnetic field

strength equal to 2, 4 KA/m.

This document specifies a method for the magnetic particle testing of ferro-magnetic steel and iron castings. It also gives acceptance criteria through severity levels defined by the nature, the area and the dimensions of the discontinuities present. This document is applicable to all ferro-magnetic castings, independent of the moulding method. A steel and iron casting is considered to be ferro-magnetic if the magnetic induction is greater than 1 T

(Tesla) for a magnetic field strength of 2,4 kA/m. This document only applies to those areas of the castings specified for testing, as well as the percentage

of castings to be tested

This standard specifies a test method for determining the acceptance limits of surface discontinuities detected by liquid penetrant inspection, when such an inspection procedure has been contractually agreed upon at the request of the purchaser. It applies to all steel castings; whatever casting process is used.

This document specifies a method for the liquid penetrant testing of steel and iron castings.

 For the interpretation of radiographs and the assignment of radiographic quality levels to a casting, it is necessary to use a standard set of reference radiographs. The reference radiographs available from ASTM (see clause 2) are the only internationally used and recognized documents that may be used for this purpose.

This document specifies the general requirements for the radiography of steel and iron castings by means of X-rays or gamma-rays.

This standard specifies the testing conditions and the acceptance standard for ultrasonic acceptance tests for the components and types of test covered in table 1, columns 1 to 6.  Unless otherwise agreed, this standard shall be applied when the product standards require mandatory ultrasonic tests or when the ordered optional tests are made mandatory (See ISO 1005-1, ISO 1005-3 and ISO 1005-6) ISO 1005-6, specifies ultrasonic acceptance tests are mandatory for all wheels of testing category B, but optional for all wheels of testing category A. According to ISO 1005-1 and ISO 1005-3, ultrasonic acceptance tests on tyres and axles are optional in every case.
