<p>ISO 10042:2005 specifies quality levels for imperfections in arc-welded joints in aluminium and its alloys. It applies to material thicknesses above 0,5 mm. It covers full-penetration butt welds and all fillet welds. The principles of the standard may also be applied to partial-penetration butt welds.</p>
<p>Three quality levels are given in order to permit application to a wide range of welded constructions. The quality levels refer to production quality and not to the fitness for purpose of the product manufactured.</p>
<p>The standard applies to:</p>
<ul><li>all types of weld, e.g. butt welds, fillet welds and branch connections;</li><li>the following welding processes and their sub-processes as defined in ISO 4063:<ul><li>131....metal inert gas welding (MIG welding); gas metal arc welding /USA/,</li><li>141....tungsten inert gas welding (TIG welding); gas tungsten arc welding /USA/,</li><li>15......plasma arc welding;</li></ul></li><li>manual, mechanized and automatic welding;</li><li>all welding positions.</li></ul>
<p>Metallurgical aspects, e.g. grain size, hardness, are not covered by the standard.</p>
