Proposes materials of construction, weld preparations and weld qualities, surface finish, heat treatment, qualification of welding procedures and welding personnel, and fabrication and inspection requirements for welds related to the welding of steelwork in structures made up of combinations of stainless steel plate, sheet or sections, including hollow sections and built-up sections, or castings and forgings, by arc welding processes. The draft does not cover the design of welded connections or permissible stresses in welds, nor the production, rectification or repair of castings and, while it's expected that its main use will be for statically loaded welds, it applies also to welds subject to fatigue. Proposed as a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard.
