Used AWS D1.6 Structural Steel Welding Code - Stainless Steel

AWS D1.6 is the Structural Welding Code for Stainless Steel, a comprehensive standard that sets requirements for the fabrication, assembly, and erection of welded structures containing stainless steel. It covers various welding processes, base metals, and joint types, providing guidelines for qualifying welding procedures and welders to ensure the structural integrity and quality of welded stainless-steel components. The code also includes prequalified welding procedures, which can be used without separate qualification testing if certain conditions are met. Key Aspects of AWS D1.6: Scope: The code applies to the welding of stainless steel structural assemblies, including members, supports, and bridges that are subject to design stress. Material Focus: It is specifically designed for stainless steels, covering different types such as austenitic, ferritic, and martensitic grades. Welding Processes: Both fusion and resistance welding processes are covered. Prequalified Procedures: The code provides prequalified welding procedure specifications (WPSs) for common joints, allowing their use without the need for extensive procedure qualification tests if they meet the code's requirements for base metal, filler metal, and joint design. Structural Integrity: While corrosion resistance is a characteristic of stainless steel, the primary concern of the code is the structural integrity of the weldment itself. Welder Qualification: It includes requirements for qualifying welders to ensure they can perform the welds. This is a USED AWS D1.6/D1.6M:2007 edition.
