BS EN ISO 15609-4:2009 Specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials. Welding procedure specification. Laser beam welding
BS EN ISO 15609-4 specifies requirements for the content of the welding procedure specification (WPS) for laser beam welding processes, including overlay welding. It does not apply to other processes for cladding (e.g. thermal spraying).
BS EN ISO 15609-4 is part of a series of standards, and details of this series are given in ISO 15607:2003, Annex A.
BS EN ISO 15609-4 lists variables that influence the quality and properties of the welded joint.
The dimensions mentioned in BS EN ISO 15609-4 influence the metallurgical and mechanical qualities, the geometry of the structural member and other important performance properties.
