1.1 This standard prescribes the requirements of bare solid filler rods and wires for welding nickel and nickel alloys by inert-gas tungsten arc welding (TIG) or gas metal arc welding (MIG). The chemical composition of filler rods is also specified.
1.1.1 This standard does not specify the chemical composition and the 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.
