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 6848 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee
SC 3, Welding consumables.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 6848:1984), which has been technically revised.

Introduction
Tungsten electrodes are used in a variety of welding and allied processes, including tungsten inert gas
welding, plasma arc welding and cutting, plasma spraying, and atomic hydrogen welding. In contrast to most
other welding electrodes, tungsten electrodes are not intended to become part of the weld deposit.
Nevertheless, the chemical composition of a tungsten electrode has an important effect on its range of usage
in welding and allied processes. Therefore, tungsten electrodes are classified according to their chemical
composition.
Requests for official interpretations of any aspect of this International Standard should be directed to the
Secretariat of ISO/TC 44/SC 3 via your national standards body. A complete listing of national standards
bodies can be found at www.iso.org.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 6848:2004(E)
Arc welding and cutting — Nonconsumable tungsten
electrodes — Classification
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies requirements for classification of nonconsumable tungsten electrodes for
inert gas shielded arc welding, and for plasma welding, cutting and thermal spraying.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 31-0:1992, Quantities and units — Part 0: General principles
3 Classification
Classification of a tungsten electrode is based upon its chemical composition.
4 Symbols and requirements
4.1 Symbol for the product/process
The symbol for gas shielded tungsten arc processes is the letter W.
4.2 Symbol for the chemical composition
The symbol for the chemical composition of the tungsten electrode is the chemical symbol for the principal
oxide additive followed by digits indicating the nominal mass percent of the oxide additive multiplied by 10. If
there is no additive, the symbol is the letter P. Table 1 lists the composition requirements for the various
classifications. Compositions not listed in Table 1 shall be symbolized by the letters WG, followed by the
chemical symbol and digits for the major oxide additive, according to the principle used for the other
compositions given in Table 1.
5 Chemical analysis
Chemical analysis shall be performed on specimens of the electrode being classified. Any analytical technique
may be used but, in cases of dispute, reference shall be made to established published methods.
6 Retests
If any test fails to meet the requirement, that test shall be repeated twice. The results of both retests shall
meet the requirements. Specimens for retesting may be taken from the original test assembly or from a new
test assembly. For chemical analysis, retests need only be for those specific elements that failed to meet their

test requirement. If the results of one or both retests fail to meet the requirement, the material under test shall
be considered as not meeting the requirements of this specification for that classification.
In the event that, during preparation or after completion of any test, it is clearly determined that prescribed or
proper procedures were not followed in preparing the weld test assembly or test specimen(s), or in conducting
the tests, the test shall be considered invalid, without regard to whether the test was actually completed, or
whether the test results met, or failed to meet, the requirement. That test shall be repeated, following proper
prescribed procedures. In this case, the requirement for doubling the number of test specimens does not
apply.
7 Marking
In accordance with Table 1, tungsten electrodes shall be marked on the basis of their chemical composition,
with one colour ring near one end of the electrode. The width of the colour ring shall b
