7、ry consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules of theAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI). When AWS American National Standards are either incorporated in, ormade part of, documents that are included in federal or state laws and regulations, or the regulations o

8、f other govern-mental bodies, their provisions carry the full legal authority of the statute. In such cases, any changes in those AWSstandards must be approved by the governmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they can become a part ofthose laws and regulations. In all cases, these stand

9、ards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other documentthat invokes the AWS standards. Where this contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirementsof an AWS standard must be by agreement between the contracting parties.AWS American National Standards are devel

10、oped through a consensus standards development process that bringstogether volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus. While AWS administers theprocess and establishes rules to promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not independently test, evalu-a

This specification defines quality characteristics and metrics pertinent to resistance spot welds on steels used inautomotive applications. The eval

42、uation methods and inspection criteria specified herein can be used to evaluate the effec-tiveness of particular welding equipment and procedures used to weld a particular base material combination. The criteriaand metrics are the same for all welds regardless of the service load. The quality standa

43、rds established by this specificationdo not constitute a lower bound of suitability for service; welds that do not meet the weld quality criteria of this specifica-tion may be satisfactory for certain applications. The acceptance criteria of this standard are not intended for applicationsoutside thi

44、s scope (such as post-crash weld quality assessment): attempts to do so may lead to an erroneous result.1.2 Standard Units of Measurement. This standard makes sole use of the International System of Units (SI).1.3 Safety Precautions. Safety issues and concerns are addressed in this standard, althoug

45、h health issues and concernsare beyond the scope of this standard.
