BS EN 1011-1:2009 Welding. Recommendations for welding of metallic materials. General guidance for arc welding
BS EN 1011 is issued in several parts in order that it may cover the different types of weldable metallic materials and specific welding processes.
BS EN 1011-1:2009 deals with the production and control of arc welding of metallic materials and is appropriate for all types of fabrication. It gives general guidance for the arc welding of metallic materials in all forms of product (e.g. cast, wrought, extruded, forged).
BS EN 1011-1 contains guidance on:
- Principles
- Requirements on welding production
- Parent metals and welding consumables
- Planning
- Welding fabrication
- Elimination of distortion or inherent stresses
- Post-weld heat treatment
- Surface cleaning and treatment
- Inspection and documentation.
The BS EN 1011 series also contains the following titles:
- Part 2: Arc welding of ferritic steels
- Part 3: Arc welding of stainless steels
- Part 4: Arc welding of aluminium and aluminium alloys
- Part 5: Welding of clad steel
- Part 6: Laser beam welding
- Part 7: Electron beam welding
- Part 8: Welding of cast irons
BS EN 1011-1:2009 supersedes BS EN 1011-1:1998 which is withdrawn.
