Welding Auxiliary Documentation
Documentation of all technical data sheets and safety data sheets for welding auxiliary materials. It contains important info on additives, chemical properties, and applications.
Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action
Welding aids are chemical additives introduced into the weld pool or shielding gas. They influence melting properties and improve weld quality.
Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding
Wrong selection or missing documentation of welding consumables can lead to unwanted effects, such as worsening corrosion protection, reducing strength, or increasing stresses in the weld. This can cause cracks and other mechanical defects in the welded joint.
Workshop Practice & Instructions
1. Always use documented welding consumables that are suitable for the specific base metal and welding process.
2. Before any welding operation, carefully check the data sheets and safety certificates.
3. Store all documents in a central, accessible system for future reference.
