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. International
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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 24373:2008), which has been technically
revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— a new alloy, CuSn6MnSi, has been added to Table 1;
— chemistries in Table 1 have been updated for a number of alloys;
— wording regarding Z options has been revised in footnote to Table 1;
— an example showing a Z option has been added;
— Clauses 7, 8 and 9 have been updated to reflect agreed text for all ISO/TC 44/SC 3 standards.

Introduction
For copper-welding consumables, there is no unique relationship between the product form (solid wire
or rod) and the welding process used (e.g. gas-shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding,
plasma arc or other welding processes). For this reason, the solid wires or rods can be classified on
the basis of any of the product forms and can be used, as appropriate, for more than one of the above
welding processes.
This document was originally based on EN 14640:2005[1].

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 24373:2018

Welding consumables - Solid wires and rods for fusion

welding of copper and copper alloys - Classification

1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for classification of solid wires and rods for fusion welding
of copper and copper alloys. The classification of the solid wires and rods is based on their chemical
composition.

2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 544, Welding consumables — Technical delivery conditions for filler materials and fluxes — Type of
product, dimensions, tolerances and markings
ISO 14344, Welding consumables — Procurement of filler materials and fluxes
ISO 80000‑1:2009, Quantities and units — Part 1: General

3 Terms and definitions

No terms and definitions are listed in this document.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/

4 Classification
The classification is divided into two parts:
a) the first part indicates the product form, solid wires or rods (see 5.1);
b) the second part gives a numerical symbol indicating the chemical composition of the solid wire or
rod (see Table 1).

5 Symbols

5.1 Symbol for the product form

The symbol for the solid wire and rod shall be S.
NOTE One product form may be used for more than one welding process.

© ISO 2018 – All rights reserved  1

BS EN ISO 24373:2018
ISO 24373:2018


5.2 Symbol for the chemical composition

The numerical symbol in Table 1 indicates the chemical composition of a solid wire or rod, determined
under conditions given in Clause 7.
NOTE 1 In addition the chemical symbol may be used.

NOTE 2 Corresponding national classifications are shown in Annex A, Table A.1.

NOTE 3 Annex B gives recommendations for select alloys for use with oxyfuel gas welding and gas-shielded
metal arc welding.

6 Mechanical properties of the weld metal

The mechanical properties of the weld metal are not part of the classification.

7 Chemical analysis
Chemical analysis shall be performed on specimens of the product or the stock from which it is made.
Any analytical technique can be used; but, in case of dispute, reference shall be made to established
published methods, agreed between the contracting parties.

8 Rounding procedure
For purposes of determining compliance with the requirements of this document, the actual test
values obtained shall be subject to ISO 80000‑1:2009, B.3, Rule A. If the measured values are obtained
by equipment calibrated in units other than those of this document, the measured values shall be
converted to the units of this document before rounding. If an arithmetic average value is to be
compared with the requirements of this document, rounding shall be done only after calculating the
arithmetic average. The rounded results shall fulfil the requirements of the appropriate table for the
classification under test.

9 Retest
If any test fails to meet a requirement, that test shall be repeated twice. The results of both retests
shall meet the requirement. Specimens for the retest may be taken from the original test sample or
from a new test sample. For chemical analysis, retests need only be for those specific elements that
failed to meet their test requirement. If the results of one or both retests fail to meet the requirement,
the material under test shall be considered as not meeting the requirements of this document for that
classification.
In the event that, during preparation or after completion of any test, it is clearly determined that
prescribed or proper procedures were not followed in preparing the sample or test specimen(s), or
in conducting the tests, the test shall be considered invalid, without regard to whether the test was
actually completed, or whether the test results met, or failed to meet, the requirement. That test shall
be repeated, following proper prescribed procedures. In this case, the requirement for doubling the
number of test specimens does not apply.

10 Technical delivery conditions

Technical delivery conditions shall meet the requirements given in ISO 544 and ISO 14344.
