What is BS EN 1011-3-Arc welding of stainless steel about?

BS EN 1011 series covers recommendations for welding of metallic materials in welding processes.

BS EN 1011-3 is the third part of the series that gives general recommendations for the fusion welding of stainless steels. Specific details relevant to austenitic, austenitic-ferritic, ferritic, and martensitic stainless steels are given in Annexes A to D.

BS EN 1011-3 includes additional details for fusion welding of stainless steels and should be read in conjunction with the general recommendations in EN 10111.

Who is BS EN 1011-3-Arc welding of stainless steel for?

BS EN 1011-3 on arc welding of stainless steels applicable to:

Construction, automotive, mechanical industry
Aerospace industry
Manufacturers of pressure vessels
Shipbuilding industry
Sheet metal manufacturers

Why should you use BS EN 1011-3-Arc welding of stainless steel?

Arc welding of of stainless steel is a type of welding process using an electric arc to create heat to melt and join metals.

BS EN 1011-3 gives general guidance for the satisfactory production and control of welding and details the possible detrimental phenomena which may occur with advice on methods by which they may be avoided. It is generally applicable to all stainless steels and is appropriate regardless of the type of fabrication involved, although the application standard may have additional requirements.

BS EN 1011-3 is useful to all stainless steels and is appropriate regardless of the type of fabrication.

BS EN 1011-3 can assist you in improving the quality of metallic welded joints by conforming to best industry recommendations. You can thus ensure that welded joints are free from imperfections that could impair the service performance of the construction.
