 ISO/TR 15608:2017(E) Foreword bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical mittees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical mittee has been established has the right to be represented on that mittee. International organizations  governmental and non-governmental  in liaison with ISo  also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives  Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives  Part 2 (see Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISo list of patent declarations received (see Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not constitute an endorsement.

 TECHNICALREPORT ISO/TR 15608:2017(E) Welding-Guidelinesforametallicmaterialsgrouping system 1Scope This document provides guidelines for a uniform system for grouping materials for welding purposes. It can also be applied for other purposes  such as heat treatment  forming and non-destructive testing. It covers grouping systems for the following standardized materials: - steels; - aluminium and its alloys; - copper and its alloys; -- nickel and its alloys; titanium and its alloys; -- zirconium and its alloys; iTehSTANDARDPREVIEW -cast irons.

ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses: - IEC Electropedia: available at ISo Online browsing platform: available at 4Grouping system for steels specifications should be considered. Ladle (or heat) analyses should be used in preference of product analysis when both are specified. The figures given in groups: - 1  2  3 and 11 refer to the chemical position specified in the material standard (specified values); - 4 to 10 are based on the elemental content used in the designation of the alloys. Materials assigned to a group in ISO/TR 20172  ISO/TR 20173 and ISO/TR 20174 should be considered assigned to those groups by this document. For materials that are not assigned to a group  the criteria of this document apply. @ ISO 2017 All rights reserved
