22、Pa to 1 Pa) or secondary vacuum. 3.2 Weldability 3.2.1 notion of weldability a metallic material is considered to be weldable to a given degree, by a given process or for a given type of application when, provided that the corresponding precautions are taken, it lends itself to the production of a w

23、eld which, through its characteristics and the consequences of its presence, meets the required properties chosen as the basis for the judgement 3.2.2 degrees of weldability the weldability of materials is assessed according to the following four degrees: degree 1: material with very good weldabilit

24、y, requiring no particular precautions. Preferred. degree 2: material with good weldability but likely to require special welding precautions (for example, preheating, low feedrate, etc.). degree 3: material with poor weldability, requiring specific development for each type of part and likely to le

25、ad to manufacturing problems. Inadvisable. degree 4: material with very poor weldability.
