32、ogen welding. In contrast to most other welding electrodes, tungsten electrodes are not intended to become part of the weld deposit. Nevertheless, the chemical composition of a tungsten electrode has an important effect on its range of usage in welding and allied processes. Therefore, tungsten elect
33、rodes are classified according to their chemical composition.Requests for official interpretations of any aspect of this International Standard should be directed to the Secretariat of ISO/TC 44/SC 3 via your national standards body.

34、w.iso.org.DIN EN ISO 6848:2015-12 EN ISO 6848:2015 (E) 5 1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies requirements for classification of nonconsumable tungsten electrodes for inert gas shielded arc welding, and for plasma welding, cutting and thermal spraying.Information on conditions of use of thes
35、e electrodes is given in Annex A (informative).2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition o
36、f the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.ISO 80000-1:2009, Quantities and units Part 1: General3 ClassificationClassification of a tungsten electrode is based upon its chemical composition.4 Symbols and requirements4.1 Symbol for the product/processThe symbol for gas shielded tun
37、gsten arc processes is the letter W.4.2 Symbol for the chemical compositionThe symbol for the chemical composition of the tungsten electrode is the chemical symbol(s) for the principal oxide additive(s) followed by digits indicating the nominal mass percent of the oxide additive multiplied by 10. If
38、 there is no additive, the symbol is the letter P. Table 1 lists the composition requirements for the various classifications.5 Chemical analysisChemical analysis shall be performed on specimens of the electrode being classified. Any analytical technique may be used but, in cases of dispute, referen
39、ce shall be made to established published methods.6 RetestsIf any test fails to meet the requirement, that test shall be repeated twice. The results of both retests shall meet the requirements. Specimens for retesting may be taken from the original test specimen or from a new test specimen. For chem
40、ical 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 specification for that classification.DI
41、N EN ISO 6848:2015-12 EN ISO 6848:2015 (E) 6 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 test specimen or test specimen(s), or in conducting the tests, the test shall be consid
42、ered 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.7
43、MarkingTungsten electrodes 50mm in length and above, as manufactured, shall be marked on the basis of their chemical composition, with one or more colour rings near one end of the electrode in accordance with Table 1.The width of the colour rings shall be at least 3 mm. Alternatively, tungsten elect
44、rodes may have their classification symbols marked on the surface of the electrode near at least one end of the electrode.For tungsten electrodes shorter than 50 mm in length, as manufactured, packaging shall be marked in accordance with Clause 11.Table 1 Chemical composition requirements for tungst
