COMMISSION II: ARC WELDING
AND FILLER METALS
Sub-Commissions and Working Groups:
C-II-A: Metallurgy of Weld Metal
Chair: Dr. Thomas Kannengiesser (Germany)
C-II-C: Testing and Measurement of Weld Metals
Chair: Dr. Zhuyao Zhang (United Kingdom)
C-II-E: Standardisation and Classification of Weld Filler Metals
Chair: Mr David Fink (United States)
Commission II identifies, develops and transfers scientific and
technical information, possibly leading to International Standards
or best practices, with respect to Arc Welding and Filler Metals. Its
principal areas of focus include the metallurgy of weld metal (e.g.
Hydrogen in weld metal, chemical reactions, constitution of weld metal
and weld metal cracking), as well as the testing and measurement of
welds (e.g. ferrite in high-alloyed weldmetal, corrosion testing and testing
of weld metal for hot cracking and micro-fissuring). It is also involved in
standardization of welding consumables, including the coordination of the
evaluation of ISO standards which are under Systematic Review, assuming
responsibility for appropriate testing standards and conducting round-
robin tests as may be required in support of the general work programme.
These activities have greatly contributed to the understanding, acceptance,
classification and adequate use of welding consumables.
COMMISSION III: RESISTANCE WELDING, SOLID STATE WELDING
AND ALLIED JOINING PROCESSES
Sub-Commissions and Working Groups:
C-III-A: Resistance Welding and Allied Processes
Chair: Dr. Jerry Gould (United States)
C-III-A-WGA1: Testing of Welds
Chair: Mr André Galtier (France)
C-III-A-WGA2: Monitoring and Control
Chair: Dr.-Ing. Miro Uran (Slovenia)
C-III-WGS: Standardisation
Chair: Dr. Kin-ichi Matsuyama (United States)
C-III-B: Friction-based Processes
Chair: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jorge dos Santos (Germany)
C-III-B-WGB2: Mechanical Properties Database
Chair: Dr. Antonio da Silva (Spain)
C-III-B-WGB3: Modelling for FSW
Chair: Dr. Laurent d’Alvise (Belgium)
C-III-B-WGB4: Standardisation on Friction-based Spot Welding Processes
Co-Chairs: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jorge dos Santos (Germany) and Mr Marc Petersen (United States)
Commission III provides a unique forum for
open discussion, where highly-competent
international experts exchange scientific
and technical information and transfer
knowledge about resistance welding, solid
state welding and allied joining processes.
In recent years, topics have included
joining of dissimilar thin sheet materials,
joining in automotive industries, computer
simulation of joining processes and friction
stir welding, including both modelling and
weldability. The Working Unit also assists
in the formulation and preparation of new
International Standards, with a view to
encouraging and supporting a safe, healthy
and environment-friendly world.
