This International Standard is applicable to gas shielded arc welding and cutting processes with gases and gas mixtures defined within. Applications include, but are not limited to:
— tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding;
— metal active gas (MAG) welding;
— metal inert gas (MIG) welding;
— plasma arc welding;
— plasma arc cutting;
— back shielding.
The purpose of this International Standard is to classify shielding gases according to their chemical properties as a base for the approval of shielding gas and filler wire combinations.
Gas purities and mixing tolerances are also specified.
