SAME AS ISO 24034

This standard specifies requirements for the classification ofsolid wire electrodes, solid wires and rods for fusion welding oftitanium and titanium-alloys. The classification of the solid wiresand cut lengths and spools of wire is based on their chemicalcomposition.

For titanium welding consumables, the compositions of thewire electrodes for the gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process arethe same as for the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process, theplasma arc welding (PAW) process, the laser beam welding (LBW)process, and other fusion welding processes. Therefore, the use ofthe word “wires/rods” in this classification refers to both “wireelectrodes” and “wires and rods” in this standard.

NOTE: In this standard, the word “titanium” is used for”titanium and titanium-alloys.”

The classification of titanium wires/rods is based upon thechemical composition of the wires/rods.
