AWS D1.6/D1.6M:2017 – Structural Welding Code – Stainless Steel
AWS D1.6/D1.6M:2017 – Structural Welding Code – Stainless Steel defines the welding requirements for austenitic and ferritic stainless steel structural components. Applicable to both shop and field fabrication, it governs the construction of non-pressure stainless steel structures and aligns closely with AWS D1.1 formatting for consistency.
Highlights:
- Design provisions for welded joints and structural connection details
- Specifications for base metals, filler materials, and qualified welding processes
- Prequalification criteria for procedures and joint configurations
- Qualification standards for welding procedures, welders, and operators
- Visual and nondestructive inspection methods
- Stud welding practices and performance qualification requirements
- Fabrication standards for cleaning, joint prep, and weld profile control
- Weld acceptance criteria and repair guidelines
- Normative and informative annexes on weld sizing, filler metal selection, sample forms, and macroetchants
- Commentary section offering interpretation and application guidance
Who It’s For:
Essential for fabricators, engineers, inspectors, and contractors involved in stainless steel construction for structural applications such as architectural systems, industrial frameworks, and corrosion-resistant environments.
