BS EN ISO 5182:2016

What is ISO 5182 - Materials for electrodes and ancillary equipment for resistance welding about? 

ISO 5182 is an international standard covering materials for electrodes and ancillary equipment for resistance welding, facilitating the usability, safety and performance in welding applications. 

ISO 5182 specifies the characteristics of materials for resistance welding electrodes and ancillary equipment which are used for carrying current and transmitting force to the work. 

Who is ISO 5182 - Materials for electrodes and ancillary equipment for resistance welding for? 

ISO 5182 on materials for electrodes and ancillary equipment for resistance welding is useful for: 

• Manufacturers of welding equipment 
• Dealers and importers of welding equipment 
• Material suppliers to welding services 
• Electrical industries 
• Testing laboratories 
• Welding department of Industries 

Why should you use ISO 5182 - Materials for electrodes and ancillary equipment for resistance welding? 

Resistance welding is a method of joining metals by applying pressure and passing a high electric current through the metal combination, which heats the welding joint and melts the metals together, forging them together. 

ISO 5182 provides users guidance on classification including, copper, copper alloys, sintered materials, dispersion strengthened copper (DSC) alloys the characteristics of materials for resistance welding electrodes. 

ISO 5182 provides users guidance on specifications and requirements, including chemical composition, mechanical properties, electrical properties, ensuring compatibility and performance in welding applications. 

Guidance in ISO 5182 enables users to determine the appropriate materials for electrodes and ancillary equipment for resistance welding, enabling welding efficiency and high-speed welding in resistance welding.
