DR AS/NZS 2205.5.1:2018 (Committee WD-003)
Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Macroscopic and microscopic examination of welds
Please note that when submitting comments on draft Joint standards, these must be submitted to Standards Australia. To do this, please use the following link— https://hub.standards.org.au/hub/public/listOpenCommentingPublication.action The objective of this standard is to provide recommendations for specimen preparation, test procedures and their main objectives for macroscopic and microscopic examination. Users of this standard should be aware that its test methods include the methods specified in the superseded AS 2205.5.1 and now includes additional methods for microscopic examination not previously available. This standard is identical with, and has been reproduced from, ISO 17639:2003 Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials — Macroscopic and microscopic examination of welds. Please note, while the public comment draft indicates that this is an Australian only (AS) project, please be advised it is being undertaken by both the Australian and New Zealand members of the WD-003 Welding of structures committee to create a joint Australian and New Zealand (AS/NZS) standard.
