Scope
This Standard specifies requirements for the welding of aluminium and its weldable alloys
in structures, components and equipment complying with AS/NZS 1664.1 or AS/NZS 1664.2, by the following processes:
(a) Gas tungsten-arc welding (GTAW).
(b) Gas metal-arc welding (GMAW).
(c) Pulsed-arc welding (GTAW or GMAW).
(d) Plasma-arc welding (PAW).
The Standard can also be used for all welded constructions other than those excluded in
Section 1.2.
NOTES:
1 Throughout this Standard, ‘aluminium’ is taken to refer to ‘aluminium and its weldable alloys’.
2 Welded components may be made up of combinations of sheets, plates, extrusions or sections, including hollow sections, built-up sections, castings and forgings.
