What is ISO 17683 - Ceramic weld about?
ISO 17683 is an international standard on ships and marine technology that discusses the criteria for performing ceramic welding. ISO 17683 specifies the classification, dimension, appearance, performance, and test methods for ceramic weld backing. It also specifies marking, packaging, and storage.
ISO 17683 is applicable to designing, manufacturing, testing, and accepting ceramic weld backing that is to be used in the double-side form with single side welds, such as arc welding, gas welding, vertical gas welding, submerged arc welding, and the shaping structural steel welding end for carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, copper alloy, and so on.
Who is ISO 17683 - Ceramic weld for?
ISO 17683 on ceramic weld backing for marine use is relevant to:
- Welders
- Marine engineer
- Shipbuilding industry
Why should you use ISO 17683 - Ceramic weld?
Ceramic weld is a mixture of ceramic and metallic particles is projected with oxygen onto a hot refractory substrate. The exothermic reaction at the point of impact melts the projected powder and the refractory surface creating a ceramic bond.
ISO 17683 provides guidance on dimensions and appearance, performance and test, type approval test, acceptance test of the ceramic weld.
As a user of ISO 17683, you can be ensured of all requirements and test methods of the ceramic weld. With obedience and compliance to ISO 17683, you can efficiently perform ceramic welding on ships. With ISO 17683 you can be ensured that the ceramic weld consistently meets and exceed quality assurance targets.
