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 15614-13 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 15614-13:2005), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 15614 consists of the following parts, under the general title Specification and qualification of welding
procedures for metallic materials — Welding procedure test:
 Part 1: Arc and gas welding of steels and arc welding of nickel and nickel alloys
 Part 2: Arc welding of aluminium and its alloys
 Part 3: Fusion welding of non-alloyed and low-alloyed cast irons
 Part 4: Finishing welding of aluminium castings

Introduction
It is intended that all new welding procedure qualifications be carried out in accordance with this part of
ISO 15614 from the date of its issue.
However, this part of ISO 15614 does not invalidate previous welding procedure qualifications made to other
standards or specifications, provided the intent of its technical requirements is satisfied and the previous
welding procedure qualifications are relevant to the application and production work on which they are to be
employed.
Also, where additional tests have to be carried out to make the qualification technically equivalent, it is
necessary only to perform the additional tests on a test piece made in accordance with this part of ISO 15614.
The various parts of ISO 15614 comprise, in their turn, a series of International Standards on welding, details
of which are given in ISO 15607:2003, Annex A.

1 Scope
This part of ISO 15614 specifies tests for the qualification of welding procedure specifications applicable to
upset (resistance butt) welding and flash welding of metallic materials, e.g. with solid, tubular, flat or circular
cross-section. Its basic principles can also be applied to other resistance welding processes when this is
stated in the specification.
This part of ISO 15614 defines the conditions for carrying out tests and the limits of validity of a qualified
welding procedure for all the practical welding operations that it covers. The tests required to qualify the
procedure for a particular component or assembly depend on the performance and quality requirements of the
component or assembly, as defined in the design specification. The tests are intended to be carried out in
accordance with the requirements of this part of ISO 15614, unless more severe tests are specified by the
relevant application standard or specification and when these apply.
NOTE Specific service, material, or manufacturing conditions can require more comprehensive testing than specified
by this part of ISO 15614. Such tests can include microsections, fatigue or endurance tests, impact tests, radiographic
testing, ultrasonic testing, corrosion testing and tests of components or complete welded assemblies.
This part of ISO 15614 covers the following resistance welding processes, as defined in ISO 4063:
 24 flash welding, using direct current or alternating current with various movement sequences, constant
flashing and pulsed flashing;
 25 resistance upset welding, using direct current or alternating current with various pressure sequences.

Foreword
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (2005), which has been technically revised.
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 15614-13 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 15614-13:2005) which has been technically
revised.
ISO 15614 consists of the following parts, under the general title Specification and qualification of welding
procedures for metallic materials — Welding procedure test:
⎯ Part 1: Arc and gas welding of steels and arc welding of nickel and nickel alloys
⎯ Part 2: Arc welding of aluminium and its alloys
⎯ Part 3: Arc welding of cast iron
⎯ Part 4: Finishing welding of aluminium castings

Introduction
All new welding procedure qualifications are to be carried out in accordance with this part of ISO 15614 from
the date of its issue.
However, this part of ISO 15614 does not invalidate previous welding procedure qualifications made to
standards or specifications, provided the intent of the technical requirements is satisfied and the previous
welding procedure qualifications are relevant to the application and production work on which they are to be
employed.
Also, where additional tests have to be carried out to make the qualification technically equivalent, it is only
necessary to do the additional tests on a test piece which should be made in accordance with this part of
ISO 15614.
Requests for official interpretations of any aspect of this part of ISO 15614 should be directed to the
Secretariat of ISO/TC 44/SC 10 via the national standards body, a complete listing of which can be found at
www.iso.org.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 15614-13

Specification and qualification of welding procedures for
metallic materials — Welding procedure test —
Part 13:
Resistance butt (upset) and flash welding
1 Scope
This part of ISO 15614 specifies the tests which should be used for qualification of welding procedure
specifications.
It applies to upset (resistance butt) welding and flash welding of metallic materials, e.g. with solid, tubular, flat
or circular cross-section. The basic principles of this part of ISO 15614 may be applied to other resistance
welding processes when this is specified in the specification.
NOTE This part of ISO 15614 is a part of a series of standards. Details of this series are given in ISO 15607:2003,
Annex A.
This part of ISO 15614 defines the conditions for carrying out tests and the limits of validity of a qualified
welding procedure for all practical welding operations covered by this part of ISO 15614.
The tests required to qualify the procedure for a particular component/assembly depend on the performance
and quality requirements of the component/assembly and should be defined in the design specification.
The tests should be carried out in accordance with this part of ISO 15614, unless more severe tests are
specified by the relevant application standard or specification, when these apply.
NOTE Specific service, material, or manufacturing conditions may require more comprehensive testing than is
specified by this part of ISO 15614.
Such tests may include:
⎯ microsections;
⎯ fatigue or endurance tests;
⎯ impact test;
⎯ radiographic test;
⎯ ultrasonic test;
⎯ corrosion test;
⎯ tests of components or complete welded assemblies.
This part of ISO 15614 covers the following resistance welding processes as defined in ISO 4063:
⎯ 24 flash welding, using direct current or alternating current with various movement sequences, constant
flashing and pulsed flashing;
⎯ 25 resistance upset welding, using direct current or alternating current with various pressure sequences.
