EN ISO 15609-5:2011

Specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials - Welding procedure specification - Part 5: Resistance welding (ISO 15609-5:2011, Corrected version 2011-12-01)

ISO 15609-5:2011 specifies requirements for the content of welding procedure specifications for resistance spot, seam, butt and projection welding processes. It is necessary to establish the acceptability of applying the principles of ISO 15609-5:2011 to other resistance and related welding processes before any qualification is undertaken.
Variables listed in ISO 15609-5:2011 are those influencing either weld dimensions (quality), weld nugget dimension, weld pattern positioning, mechanical properties or geometry of the welded joint.

Anforderung und Qualifizierung von Schweißverfahren für metallische Werkstoffe - Schweißanweisung - Teil 5: Widerstandsschweißen (ISO 15609-5:2011, korrigierte Fassung 2011-12-01)

Dieser Teil der ISO 15609 legt die Anforderungen an den Inhalt der Schweißanweisungen für Widerstandspunkt-, Rollennaht-, Pressstumpf- und Buckel-Schweißprozesse fest. Es ist notwendig, die Eignung der verwendeten Grundsätze dieses Teils der ISO 15609 für andere Widerstands- sowie verwandte Schweißprozesse nachzuweisen, bevor irgendeine Qualifizierung vorgenommen wird.
ANMERKUNG   Einzelheiten der ISO 15609 (alle Teile – für komplette Titel, siehe Vorwort) sind in ISO 15607:2003, Anhang A, angegeben.
Die in diesem Teil der ISO 15609 aufgeführten veränderlichen Größen beeinflussen entweder die Abmessungen der Schweißungen (Qualität), die Größe der Schweißlinse, die Festlegung des Schweißnaht-verlaufes, die mechanischen Eigenschaften oder die Geometrie der Schweißverbindung.

Descriptif et qualification d'un mode opératoire de soudage pour les matériaux métalliques - Descriptif d'un mode opératoire de soudage - Partie 5: Soudage par résistance (ISO 15609-5:2011, Version corrigée 2011-12-01)

L'ISO 15609-5:2011 spécifie les exigences relatives au contenu des descriptifs de modes opératoires de soudage pour les procédés de soudage par résistance par points, à la molette, en bout et par bossages. La vérification de la possibilité d'appliquer les principes de l'ISO 15609-5:2011 à d'autres procédés de soudage par résistance ou assimilés se fait avant d'entreprendre toute qualification.
Les variables énumérées dans l'ISO 15609-5:2011 sont celles qui ont une influence soit sur les dimensions de la soudure (qualité), les dimensions du noyau de la soudure, la configuration des soudures, les caractéristiques mécaniques ou la géométrie de l'assemblage soudé.

Popis in kvalifikacija varilnih postopkov za kovinske materiale - Specifikacija varilnega postopka - 5. del: (Elektro)uporovno varjenje (ISO 15609-5:2011)

Ta standard določa zahteve za vsebino specifikacij varilnega postopka za (elektro)uporovno točkovno, kolutno, soležno in bradavično varjenje. Sprejemljivost uporabe načel standarda pri drugih (elektro)uporovnih in sorodnih varilnih procesih se mora ugotoviti pred izvedbo kvalifikacij. Ta standard je del serije standardov. Podrobnosti o tej seriji so navedene v ISO 15607:2003, dodatek A. Spremenljivke, navedene v tem standardu, vplivajo na mere (kakovost) zvarov, mere zvarnega zrna, položaj zvarnega vzorca, mehanske lastnosti ali geometrijo zvarnega spoja.

ISO 15609-5:2011(E)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15609-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee
SC 6, Resistance welding and allied mechanical joining.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 15609-5:2004), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 15609 consists of the following parts, under the general title Specification and qualification of welding
procedures for metallic materials — Welding procedure specification:
 Part 1: Arc welding
 Part 2: Gas welding
 Part 3: Electron beam welding
 Part 4: Laser beam welding
 Part 5: Resistance welding
 Part 6: Laser-arc hybrid welding
Requests for official interpretations of any aspect of this part of ISO 15609 should be directed to the
Secretariat of ISO/TC 44/SC 6 via your national standards body. A complete listing of these bodies can be
