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 16834:2006(E)
Introduction
This International Standard recognizes that there are two somewhat different approaches in the global market
to classifying a given wire electrode, wire, rod or deposit, and allows for either or both to be used, to suit a
particular market need. Application of either type of classification designation (or of both where suitable)
identifies a product as classified in accordance with this International Standard. The classification in
accordance with system A is mainly based on EN 12534, Welding consumables — Wire electrodes, wires,
rods and deposits for gas shielded metal arc welding of high strength steels — Classification. The
classification in accordance with system B is mainly based upon standards used around the Pacific Rim.
Future revisions will aim to merge the two systems into a single classification system.
This International Standard provides a classification in order to designate wire electrodes, wires, rods and
deposits in terms of their chemical composition and, where required, in terms of the yield strength, tensile
strength and elongation of the all-weld metal. The ratio of yield to tensile strength of weld metal is generally
higher than that of the parent metal. Users should note that matching weld-metal yield strength to parent-
metal yield strength will not necessarily ensure that the weld-metal tensile strength matches that of the parent
material. Where the application requires matching tensile strength, therefore, selection of the consumable
should be made by reference to column 3 of Table 1A or 1B.
It should be noted that the mechanical properties of all-weld metal test specimens used to classify the
electrodes, wires and rods will vary from those obtained in production joints because of differences in welding
procedure, such as electrode size, width of weave, welding position and material composition.
Requests for official interpretations of technical aspects of this International Standard should be directed to the
Secretariat of ISO/TC 44/SC 3 via the user's national standardization body; a listing of these bodies can be
found at www.iso.org.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 16834:2006(E)

Welding consumables — Wire electrodes, wires, rods and
deposits for gas-shielded arc welding of high strength steels —
Classification
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies requirements for classification of wire electrodes, wires, rods and weld
deposits in the as-welded condition and in the post-weld heat-treated (PWHT) condition for gas-shielded metal
arc welding and tungsten inert-gas welding of high strength steels with a minimum yield strength greater than
500 MPa, or a minimum tensile strength greater than 570 MPa. One wire electrode can be tested and
classified with different shielding gases.
This International Standard is a combined specification providing for classification utilizing a system based
upon the yield strength and the average impact energy of 47 J of all-weld metal, or utilizing a system based
upon the tensile strength and the average impact energy of 27 J of all-weld metal.
a) Subclauses and Tables which carry the suffix letter “A” are applicable only to wire electrodes, wires, rods
and deposits classified according to the system based upon the yield strength and the average impact
energy of 47 J of all-weld metal under this International Standard.
b) Subclauses and Tables which carry the suffix letter “B” are applicable only to wire electrodes, wires, rods
and deposits classified according to the system based upon the tensile strength and the average impact
energy of 27 J of all-weld metal under this International Standard.
c) Subclauses and Tables which do not have either the suffix letter “A” or the suffix letter “B” are applicable
to all wire electrodes, wires, rods and deposits classified under this International Standard.

3 Classification
Classification designations are based upon two approaches to indicate the tensile properties and the impact
properties of the all-weld metal obtained with a given wire electrode, wire or rod. The two designation
approaches include additional designators for some other classification requirements, but not all, as will be
clear from the following clauses. In most cases, a given commercial product can be classified according to the
classification requirements in both systems. Then either or both classification designations can be used for the
product.
A wire electrode, wire or rod shall be classified in accordance with its chemical composition in Table 3A or
Table 3B. A weld deposit shall be classified with additional symbols in accordance with the mechanical
properties of its all-weld metal, using a shielding gas from a specific group.

3A Classification by yield strength and 47 J 3B Classification by tensile strength and
impact energy 27 J impact energy
The classification is divided into six parts: The classification is divided into five parts:
1) the first part gives a symbol indicating the 1) the first part gives a symbol indicating the
product/process to be identified; product/process to be identified;
2) the second part gives a symbol indicating the 2) the second part gives a symbol indicating the
strength and elongation of all-weld metal (see strength and elongation of the all-weld metal in
Table 1A); either the as-welded or post-weld heat-treated
condition (see Table 1B);
3 the third part gives a symbol indicating the 3) the third part gives a symbol indicating the
impact properties of all-weld metal (see impact properties of all-weld metal in the same
Table 2); condition as specified for the tensile strength
(see Table 2). The letter "U" after this
designator indicates that the deposit meets an
average optional requirement of 47 J at the
designated Charpy test temperature;
4) the fourth part gives a symbol indicating the 4) the fourth part gives a symbol indicating the
shielding gas used (see 4.4); shielding gas used (see 4.4);
5) the fifth part gives a symbol indicating the 5) the fifth part gives a symbol indicating the
chemical composition of the wire electrode, wire chemical composition of the wire electrode, wire
and rod used (see Table 3A); and rod used (see Table 3B).
6) the sixth part gives a symbol indicating the
post-weld heat treatment in case this is applied
(see 4.6A).
