6、D8.14M:2008Statement on the Use of American Welding Society 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 theA
7、merican 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 of other govern-mental bodies, their provisions carry the full legal authority of the
8、 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 standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other documentthat invokes th
9、e 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 developed through a consensus standards development process that bringstogether volunteer
10、s representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus. While the AWS administers theprocess and establishes rules to promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not independently test, evalu-ate, or verify the accuracy of any information or the soundness of any judgments
11、contained in its standards.AWS disclaims liability for any injury 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.

It isassumed that the use of this standard
14、 and its provisions are entrusted to appropriately qualified and competent personnel.This standard may be superseded by the issuance of new editions. Users should ensure that they have the latest edition.Publication of this standard does not authorize infringement of any patent or trade name. Users
15、of this standard acceptany and all liabilities for infringement of any patent or trade name items. AWS disclaims liability for the infringement ofany patent or product trade name resulting from the use of this standard.Finally, the AWS does not monitor, police, or enforce compliance with this standa

Such errata, when discovered, are postedon the AWS web page (www.aws.org).Official interpretations of any of the technical requirements of this standard may only be obtained by
17、 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, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126 (see Annex D).With regard to technical inquiries made concerning
18、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 particular individuals giving them. These individualsdo
19、 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 subject to revision at any time by the AWS D8 Co
20、mmittee on Automotive Welding. It must be reviewedevery five years, and if not revised, it must be either reaffirmed or withdrawn. Comments (recommendations, additions, ordeletions) and any pertinent data that may be of use in improving this standard are required and should be addressed toAWS Headqu
21、arters. Such comments will receive careful consideration by the AWS D8 Committee on Automotive Weldingand the author of the comments will be informed of the Committees response to the comments. Guests are invited toattend all meetings of the AWS D8 Committee on Automotive Welding to express their co
22、mments verbally. Proceduresfor appeal of an adverse decision concerning all such comments are provided in the Rules of Operation of the TechnicalActivities Committee.

30、utomotive Arc Weld-ing of the AWS D8 Committee on Automotive Welding. This edition makes sole use of the International System ofUnits (SI).Recent changes in automotive design caused by the desire to reduce fuel consumption have resulted in new automotivestructures being made of aluminum. This specif
31、ication was undertaken to prepare minimum standards for manual, auto-matic, and robotic arc welding of aluminum components associated with the body and supporting structural memberssuch as body panels, bumpers, frames, space frames, cradles, wheels, drive shafts, and suspensions.One objective of the
32、 committee was to prepare a specification that could be used by smaller suppliers of automotivecomponents, who generally have no standards of their own for minimum arc welding quality.All revisions to the 2000 edition are identified by a vertical line in the margin next to the text.Comments and sugg
33、estions for the improvement of this standard are welcome. They should be sent to the Secretary,AWS D8 Committee on Automotive Welding, American Welding Society, 550 N.W.
