Prfung von Schweiern - Schmelzschweien - Teil 4: Nickel und Nickellegierungen (IS0 9606-4 : 1999) European Standard EN IS0 9606-4 : 1999 has the status of a DIN Standard. A comma is used as the decimal marker. National foreword This standard has been publis
3、hed in accordance with a decision taken by CEN/TC 121 to adopt, without alteration, International Standard IS0 9606-4 as a European Standard. The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschu Schweifechnik (Weld- ing Standards Committee). The aim of this standard is to en
4、sure that the approval testing of welders is performed under the same conditions and using the same types of test piece, irrespective of where such tests are held. By passing the test as specified here, a welder demonstrates that he is adequately qualified to be employed for the fusion welding of st
5、eel in industry within the scope specified in this standard. The standard thus provides a basis for mutual recognition of welder approval test certificates by the bodies responsible for the various fields of application. This standard does not provide information on examiners and testing bodies invo
6、lved in the approval testing of welders since these are indicated in the relevant legal regulations, specialized standards, codes of practice, or technical delivery conditions. Welders who apply for approval in Germany are required to take the job knowledge test detailed in annex A. Welders who are
7、employed in Germany and have not passed such a test will be at least required to dem- onstrate that they have some knowledge in occupational safety and accident prevention. DIN V 1738 is the standard corresponding to CEN Report CR 121 87 referred to in clause 2 of the EN. Amendments DIN 8561, Februa
8、ry 1974 edition, has been superseded by the specifications of EN 287-2, September 1997 edition, EN IS0 9606-3 and EN IS0 9606-4, June 1999 editions. Previous edition DIN 8561 : 1974-02.

20、 EN IS0 9606-4 : 1999 Foreword The text of EN IS0 9606-4:1999 has been prepared by Technical Committee CENTTC 121 “Welding“, the secretariat of which is held by DS, in collaboration with Technical Cornmittee ISOTTC 44 “Welding and allied processes“. This European Standard shall be given the status o
21、f a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 1999, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 1999. This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission an
22、d the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive), see informative Annex ZB, which is an integral part of this standard. According to the CENKENELEC Intemal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the follo
23、wing countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

24、his standard covers the principles to be observed in the approval testing of welder Performance for the fusion welding of nickel and nickel alloys. The term “nickel“ stands for nickel and weldable nickel alloys. The ability of the welder to follow verbal or written instructions and testing of his sk
25、ill are therefore important factors in ensuring the quality of the welded product. Testing of skill to this standard depends on welding methods in which uniform rules and test conditions are complied with, and standard test pieces are used. The test weld can be used to approve a welding procedure an
26、d a welder provided that all the relevant requirements, e.g. test piece dimensions, are satisfied (see relevant part of EN 288-2). 1 Scope This standard specifies essential requirements, ranges of approval, test conditions, acceptance requirements and certification for the approval testing of welder
27、 performance for the welding of nickel. This standard applies to the approval testing of welders for the fusion welding of nickel. This standard is intended to provide the basis for the mutual recognition by examining bodies for approval relating to welders competence in the various fields of applic
28、ation. Tests will be carried out in accordance with this standard unless more severe tests are specified by the relevant application standard when these are applied. During the approval test the welder should be required to show adequate practical experience and job knowledge (test non mandatory) of
29、 the welding processes, materials and safety requirements for which he is to be approved; information on these aspects is given in Annex A. This standard is applicable when the welders approval testing is required by the purchaser, by inspection authorities or by other organizations. The welding pro
30、cesses referred to in this standard include those fusion welding processes which are designated as manual or partly mechanized welding. It does not cover fully mechanized and automatic processes (see 5.2). This standard covers approval testing of welders for work on semi-finished and finished produc
31、ts made from wrought, forged or cast material types listed in 5.4. The certificate of approval testing is issued under the soie responsibility of the examiner or examining body. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publicatio
32、ns. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter.

45、ing characteristics are grouped for the purpose of a welders approval (see 5.4.2). In general, a welders approval test shall involve depositing weld metal having a chemical composition compatible with any of the nickel in the parent metal group(s). 5.4.2 Nickel groups of parent metal 5.4.2.1 General
46、 Nickel casting alloys are included in the following groups but the filler metal shall be compatible with the filler metal used for the wrought materials in the same group.

48、 5.4.2.8 Group W 47: Nickel-iron-chromium-copper alloys (Ni/Fe/Cr/Cu) Ni 2 45 % 5.5 Consumables It is assumed that in most approval tests the filler metal will be similar to the parent metal. When a welders test according to a relevant pWPS or WPS has been carried out using a filler metal and shield
49、ing gas suitable for that material group, this test will confer approval on the welder to use any other similar consumables (filler metal or shielding gas) for the same material group. 5.6 Dimensions The approval test should be based on the thickness of the material (.e. plate thickness or wall thickness of pipe) and pipe diameters which the welder will use in production. A test is listed for each of the three ranges of plate thickness and pipe wall thickness or pipe diameter as specified in tables 1 and 2. ) The word “pipe“, alone or in combination, is used to mean “p
