ANSI/AWS G2.3M/G2.3:2009

This guide presents a description of wrought solid solution austenitic stainless steels and the processes and procedures that can be used for the joining of these materials. This standard discusses the welding processes and welding parameters, qualifications, inspection and repair methods, cleaning, and safety considerations. Practical information has been included in the form of figures, tables, and graphs that should prove useful in determining capabilities and limitations in the joining of austenitic stainless steels.
