ISO 15620 is an International Standard that discusses welding. It covers requirements for the friction welding of components manufactured from metals.
ISO 15620 specifies requirements particular to rotational friction welding related to welding knowledge, quality requirements, welding procedure specification, welding procedure approval, and welding personnel.
The main objective of ISO 15620 is to establish efficient quality management systems in the field of welding.
ISO 15620 on friction welding of metallic materials is relevant to:
Friction welding is a method for making welds in the solid phase in which one component is moved relative to and in pressure contact with the mating component to produce heat at the faying surfaces, the weld is completed by the application of a force during or after the cessation of relative motion.
ISO 15620 is appropriate where a contract, an application standard, or a regulatory requirement requires the demonstration of the manufacturer's capability to produce welded constructions of a specified quality. It has been prepared in a comprehensive manner to be used as a reference in contracts.
By implementing the system of quality control in compliance with ISO 15620, you can ensure that consistent and satisfactory weld quality is maintained.
