An appropriate filler metal (see 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7) shall be selected in accordance with the requirements
of the weld and the welding process.
Any special recommendations given by the manufacturer and/or supplier of the welding consumables
shall be taken into account.
Welding consumables (e.g. filler metals, gases and fluxes) shall conform to the appropriate European
and/or International Standards, as applicable, (see Annex B, Tables B.1 and B.2).
It can be necessary to manufacture appropriate filler metals, especially for oxy acetylene and liquid
metal welding. To avoid confusion, such products shall be identified.
8.2 Storage and handling
For the purposes of this document the storage and handling requirements given in EN 1011-1:2009
shall apply.
9 Equipment
9.1 General
For the purposes of this document, the equipment requirements given in EN 1011-1:2009 shall apply.
9.2 Ancillary equipment
If applicable, the ancillary equipment shall include:
a) power source for welding equipment and additional machinery;
b) facilities for joint preparation;
c) facilities for preheating and post-weld heat treatment including temperature measurement
equipment;
d) cranes and other handling equipment;
e) peening equipment;
f) electrode baking ovens, electrode bags etc. for handling filler metals;
g) cleaning equipment;
h) equipment for destructive and non-destructive testing;
i) fixtures and welding jigs;
j) personal protection equipment directly connected with welding.

10 Fabrication
When welding cast iron castings, consideration shall be given to the:
— need for trained and approved welders;
— need for a responsible welding co-ordinator;
— casting geometry;
— temperature control;
— stress conditions caused by welding;
— material behaviour;
— working conditions;
— inspection requirements.
Selection of the requirement category (see EN ISO 3834-1) is recommended and should be carried out
with due consideration of any special operating conditions and joint strains together with any economic
factors.
Prior to welding, there shall be an agreement made between the parties concerned which includes the
requirements for finishing welding, joint welding and repair welding, as applicable.
If applicable, finishing and/or repair welding methods to correct casting non-conformities shall be
carefully planned and prepared.
The casting surface to be welded shall be checked by a suitable non-destructive test method, in order to
ensure sound material after complete removal of any casting non-conformity.
11 Weld preparation
11.1 Assembly for welding
Assembly shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1011-1:2009.
NOTE In addition, weld preparation should meet the recommendations given in Table B.1 and Table B.2.
11.2 Finishing welds and repair welds
Preparation shall remove any crack, pore, notch and contamination. The area to be welded shall be
suitable for the welding process (see B.1 and B.2).
NOTE Recommendations on weld preparation are given in B.2.
If contamination cannot be removed (e.g. during repair welding), other measures shall be used, such as
the selection of special filler metals.
12 Fabrication and inspection feasibility
Positioning of parts to be welded shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1011-1:2009.

13 Pre-heat temperature and interpass temperature
The pre-heat temperature T and interpass temperature T shall be within the recommended values
p i
given in B.4 and Tables B.1 and B.2, depending on the influence of the following process parameters:
— filler metal;
— parent material grade;
— geometry of the casting;
— welding process;
— welding parameters.
14 Tack welds
Tack welds shall be in accordance with EN 1011-1:2009.
15 Temporary attachments
Temporary attachments shall be in accordance with EN 1011-1:2009.
16 Run-on plates and run-off plates
Run-on and run-off plates shall be in accordance with EN 1011-1:2009.
17 Arc strikes
Handling of arc strikes shall be in accordance with EN 1011-1:2009.
18 Weld run sequence
Inter-run cleaning and inter-run treatment shall be in accordance with EN 1011-1:2009.
19 Heat input
If applicable, heat input can be estimated in accordance with EN 1011-1:2009.
