7、 StandardsAll standards (codes, specifications, recommended practices, methods, classifications, and guides) of the AmericanWelding Society (AWS) are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules of theAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI). When AWS Ameri
8、can National Standards are either incorporated in, ormade part of, documents that are included in federal or state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other governmen-tal bodies, their provisions carry the full legal authority of the statute. In such cases, any changes in those AWS standards
9、must be approved by the governmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they can become a part of those lawsand regulations. In all cases, these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other document that invokesthe AWS standards. Where this contractual relationship exists
10、, changes in or deviations from requirements of an AWSstandard must be by agreement between the contracting parties.AWS American National Standards are developed through a consensus standards development process that bringstogether volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve c
11、onsensus. While AWS administers the pro-cess and establishes rules to promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not independently test, evaluate,or verify the accuracy of any information or the soundness of any judgments contained in its standards.AWS disclaims liability for any inju
12、ry to persons or to property, or other damages of any nature whatsoever, whetherspecial, indirect, consequential, or compensatory, directly or indirectly resulting from the publication, use of, or relianceon this standard. AWS also makes no guarantee or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of

Anyone using these do
14、cuments should rely on his or her own independent judgment or, as appropriate, seek theadvice of a competent professional in determining the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances. It isassumed that the use of this standard and its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified a
15、nd competent personnel.This standard may be superseded by new editions. This standard may also be corrected through publication of amend-ments or errata, or supplemented by publication of addenda. Information on the latest editions of AWS standards includ-ing amendments, errata, and addenda is poste
16、d on the AWS web page (www.aws.org). Users should ensure that theyhave the latest edition, amendments, errata, and addenda.Publication of this standard does not authorize infringement of any patent or trade name. Users of this standard acceptany and all liabilities for infringement of any patent or
17、trade name items. AWS disclaims liability for the infringement ofany patent or product trade name resulting from the use of this standard.AWS does not monitor, police, or enforce compliance with this standard, nor does it have the power to do so.Official interpretations of any of the technical requi
18、rements of this standard may only be obtained by sending a request,in writing, to the appropriate technical committee. Such requests should be addressed to the American Welding Society,Attention: Managing Director, Technical Services Division, 8669 NW 36 St, # 130, Miami, FL 33166 (see Annex G).With
19、 regard to technical inquiries made concerning AWS standards, oral opinions on AWS standards may be rendered.These opinions are offered solely as a convenience to users of this standard, and they do not constitute professionaladvice. Such opinions represent only the personal opinions of the particul
20、ar individuals giving them. These individualsdo not speak on behalf of AWS, nor do these oral opinions constitute official or unofficial opinions or interpretations ofAWS. In addition, oral opinions are informal and should not be used as a substitute for an official interpretation.This standard is s
21、ubject to revision at any time by the AWS B2 Committee on Procedure and Performance Qualification.It must be reviewed every five years, and if not revised, it must be either reaffirmed or withdrawn. Comments (recom-mendations, additions, or deletions) and any pertinent data that may be of use in imp
22、roving this standard are requestedand should be addressed to AWS Headquarters. Such comments will receive careful consideration by the AWS B2 Com-mittee on Procedure and Performance Qualification and the author of the comments will be informed of the Committeesresponse to the comments. Guests are in
23、vited to attend all meetings of the AWS B2 Committee on Procedure and Perfor-mance Qualification to express their comments verbally. Procedures for appeal of an adverse decision concerning allsuch comments are provided in the Rules of Operation of the Technical Activities Committee. A copy of these

25、 should be used for new contracts; (3) editions established by contract date may be usedduring the entire term of the contract, or the provisions of later editions may be used when agreed upon by the contract-ing parties.This document is intended for use with the following brazing processes:(1) Torc

The grouping of base metals by Base Metal Number (BM No.) in Table B.1 has been made on thebasis of metallurgical com
27、patibility, chemical composition, and brazeability to decrease the number of required brazingqualifications. The grouping does not imply that base metals may be indiscriminately substituted within the same BMNo. without consideration of their applicability. For some materials or combinations of mate
28、rials, additional tests may berequired by the procuring activity, the Referencing Document, or the design engineer.Base metals are identified by their American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), American Bureau of Shipping(ABS), or Unified Numbering System (UNS) designations. Cross reference
29、specifications, listed in the UNS for Metalsand Alloys opposite a given UNS No., are included in the same BM No. group as the given UNS No. An American Societyof Mechanical Engineers (ASME) designation, is included in the same BM No. group.Eight categories are included as follows:(1) Ferrous metals
