What is ISO 17677-1 about?
ISO 17677 series focuses on Resistance welding. ISO 17677-1 specifies a vocabulary of terms and definitions for resistance spot welding, projection welding and seam welding.
NOTE: In addition to terms used in English and French, two of the three official ISO languages, this document gives the equivalent terms in German; these are published under the responsibility of the member body for Germany (DIN). However, only the terms and definitions given in the official languages can be considered as ISO terms and definitions.
Who is ISO 17677-1 for?
ISO 17677-1 on resistance welding is applicable to manufacturers who use welding processes. These include:
- Construction, automotive, mechanical Industries
- Sheet metal manufacturers
- Manufacturers of pressure vessels
- Manufacturers of aircraft & aerospace
- Shipbuilding industry
Why should you use ISO 17677-1?
The advantage of resistance welding is that no additional materials are required to make welded joints. Having a common reference point for terminology facilitates communication across the industry.
As an introductory part of a series, ISO 17677-1 provides you with definitions and vocabulary of terms for welding and testing procedures, related to hardware and tools used for welding, and welding process and parameters. ISO 17677-1 also provides you with measurements and values for spot welding, projection welding and seam welding.
ISO 17677-1 is intended for use to establish standard terminologies for spot, projection, and seam welding applications. ISO 17677-1 helps to standardize terminology across the welding industry.
