ISO 17639 on macroscopic and microscopic examination of welds useful for:

Welding services Testing houses and labs for metallic materials Suppliers of metallic components Quality assurance services

Why should you use ISO 17639 - Macroscopic and microscopic examination of welds ?

Destructive weld testing involves the physical destruction of the completed weld in order to evaluate its characteristics. This method of testing is used frequently for a number of applications. ISO 17639 helps you to assess the structure (including grain structure, morphology and orientation, precipitates and inclusions) independently and/or in relation to various cracks and cavities. ISO 17639 gives guidance on the assessment of features that can be detected by macroscopic and microscopic examination. Overall, the guidance of ISO 17639 enables you to identify the macroscopic and microscopic features of welded joints. What’s changed since the last update?
