1.1 The standard prescribes the requirements of bare solid filler rods and wires for welding copper and copper alloys by inert-gas arc process, that is inert-gas tungsten arc welding (TIG) or gas metal-arc welding ( MIG). The chemical composition of the rods and wires is also specified.
1.1.1 The standard does not specify the chemical composition and mechanical properties of the weld deposit.
1.2 Certain rods and wires specified in this standard are not suitable for use with particular shielding gas. Suitability of their use with a particular shielding gas should, therefore, be ascertained from the manufacturer while purchasing.
