Standard for evaluation of laser weld quality 3

[willydlc]

I am subcontracting welding of Ni/Co/Cr alloy to 316 stainless steel and need a standard or specification (AMS, ASTM, MIL, etc) that I can use as a reference. Can someone help me or lead me to one. Thanks.

The following standards and specifications may be useful to you:

ISO 13919-1 WELDING - ELECTRON AND LASER-BEAM WELDED JOINTS - GUIDANCE ON QUALITY LEVELS FOR IMPERFECTIONS - PART 1: STEEL

ISO 13919-2 WELDING - ELECTRON AND LASER BEAM WELDED JOINTS - GUIDANCE ON QUALITY LEVELS FOR IMPERFECTIONS - PART 2: ALUMINIUM AND ITS WELDABLE ALLOYS

ISO 15614-11 SPECIFICATION AND QUALIFICATION OF WELDING PROCEDURES FOR METALLIC MATERIALS - WELDING PROCEDURE TEST - PART 11: ELECTRON AND LASER BEAM WELDING

ISO 9956-11 SPECIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF WELDING PROCEDURES FOR METALLIC MATERIALS - PART 11: WELDING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATION FOR LASER BEAM WELDING

ISO standards are available from ISO at
