Abstract
This specification provides the general welding requirements for welding aircraft and space hardware. It includes but is not limited to the fusion welding of aluminum-based, nickel-based, iron-based, cobalt-based, magnesium-based, and titanium-based alloys using electric arc and high energy beam processes. There are requirements for welding design, personnel and procedure qualification, inspection, and acceptance criteria for aerospace, support and non-flight hardware. Additional requirements cover repair welding of existing hardware. A commentary for the specification is included.
This specification contains requirements for fusion welding of aerospace hardware. It is to be used in conjunction with the Engineering Authority’s design handbooks or their accepted data. When conformance to this specification is stipulated in contract documents, all provisions of this specification shall be complied with, except for those provisions that the Engineering Authority or contract documents specifically exempt or those optional provisions that shall be applied when specified by the contract documents. The following is a summary of the specification sections:
Section 1. General Requirements: basic information on the scope and provisions of this specification.
Section 2. Applicable Documents: a listing of the documents referenced in the text of this specification.
Section 3. Design of Welded Connections: requirements and guidance information for the design of welded connections.
