TECHNICAL ISO/TR REPORT 15608 First edition 2000-04-01 aS Welding — Guidelines for a metallic materials grouping system Soudage — Lignes directrices pour un systéme de groupement des matériaux métalliques Reference number ISOITR 15608:2000(€) © 180 2000ISO/TR 15608:2000(E) Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. Intemational organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical ‘Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization, International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft international Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Intemational ‘Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. In exceptional circumstances, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard ("state of the art”, for example), it may decide by a simple majority vote of its participating members to publish a Technical Report. A Technical Report is entirely informative in nature and does not have to be reviewed until the data it provides are considered to be no longer valid or useful Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this Technical Report may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/TR 18608 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in collaboration with ISO Technical Committee TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee SC 10, Unification of requirements in the field of metal welding, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement) (© 180 2000 - All nights reserved iISO/TR 15608:2000(E) Contents Page Scope...

This CEN Report supersedes CR 12187:1995. ‘According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, ‘Switzerland and the United Kingdom. © 180 2000 - All sights reservedISO/TR 15608:2000(E) 1 Scope “This technical report provides a uniform system for grouping of materials for welding purposes. It may also apply for other purposes as heat treatment, forming, non destructive testing, This technical report covers grouping systems for the following standardized materials : — steel ; — aluminium and its alloys; — nickel and its alloys; — copper and its alloys; — titanium and its alloys; — zirconium and its alloys; — cast irons. This technical report is part of a series of standards. Annex A gives details of this series of standards. 2 Grouping system for steels Steels are grouped as shown in Table 1. Only those elements that are specified in material standards or ‘specifications shall be considered. The figures given in group 1 and 11 are referring to the ladle analysis of the materials. The figures given in groups 4 to 10 are based on the element content used in the designation of the alloys.
