This Malaysian Standard supplements Part 1 of this series. It is issued with several annexes in order that it can be extended to cover the different types of steel which are produced to all the International steel standards for ferritic steels. This standard gives general guidance for the satisfactory production and control of welds in ferritic steels. Details concerning the possible detrimental phenomena which can occur are given with advice on methods by which they can be avoided. This standard is generally applicable to all ferritic steels and is appropriate regardless of the type of fabrication involved, although the application standard can have additional requirements.
