This standard replaces QJ 1842-1995 Technical conditions for structural steel and stainless steel fusion welding.
The following main changes have been made with respect to QJ 1842-1995:
——The clause “Terms and definitions” is added;
——The welding types “plasma arc welding” and “mixed gas welding” are added;
——The relevant requirements for parent metal with thickness no greater than 1mm in the former standard are canceled;
——The requirements for tensile strength of joints are specified in a more accurate way;
——The requirements for values of weld width in the former standard are canceled, and the requirements for uniformity of weld width are increased;
——The relevant welding terms are corrected;
——The concave defects are described in detail;
——The method for counting defects of welds with length less than 100mm is specified;
——The requirements for line, congregational and single defects (porosities, tungsten inclusions, inclusions and slag inclusions) inside joints are further specified;
——The requirements for root reinforcement of T-joints, lap joints and corner joints are canceled;
——The items that cannot be detected by X-ray are specified;
——The method for determining the repair times is defined.
This standard was proposed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
This standard is under the jurisdiction of China Academy of Aerospace Standardization and Product Assurance.
This standard was firstly issued in January, 1990 and was firstly revised in January, 1995.
Technical requirements of structural steel and stainless steel fusion welding
1 Scope
This standard specifies the general requirements for structural steel and stainless steel fusion welding (including manual welding, submerged arc welding, oxy-acetylene welding, carbon dioxide arc welding with thin wire, tungsten argon arc welding, MIG, plasma welding and mixed gas welding), quality grade of joints, quality requirements for joints, and dressing and repair welding of defects, as well as the requirements for joint inspection.
This standard is applicable to the design, manufacture and inspection of fusion welded joints of structural steel and stainless steel with parent metal thickness greater than 1.0mm for aerospace products.
This standard is not applicable to fusion welding of castings.
