Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. 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.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.

Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 15792 may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

International Standard ISO 15792-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied
processes, Subcommittee SC 3, Welding consumables.

Introduction
It should be noted that the mechanical properties of all-weld metal test specimens used to classify welding
consumables could vary from those obtained in production joints because of differences in welding procedure such
as electrode diameter, width of weave, welding position and material composition.

Test conditions prescribed and results required should not be considered to be requirements or expectations for a
procedure qualification.

Welding consumables — Test methods —

Part 1:
Test methods for all-weld metal test specimens in steel, nickel and
nickel alloys

1 Scope
This part of ISO 15792 specifies the preparation of test piece and specimens. The purpose is to determine
mechanical properties of all-weld metal where required by the consumable classification standard or for other
purposes, in arc welding of steel, nickel and nickel alloys.

This part of ISO 15792 is not applicable to single- or two-pass welding or fillet welding. For these cases,
ISO 15792-2 and ISO 15792-3 apply.

possibility of applying the most recent 73e279af30f2/iso-15792-1-2000
editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated
references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards.

ISO 5178, Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials — Longitudinal tensile test on weld metal in fusion
welded joints.

ISO 9016:2000, Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials — Impact tests — Test specimen location, notch
orientation and examination.

ISO 13916:1996, Welding — Guidance on the measurement of preheating temperature, interpass temperature and
preheat maintenance temperature.

3 General requirements
Welding consumables to be tested shall be representative of the manufacturer's products to be classified or tested.
Test pieces shall be prepared as described below.

4 Test plate material

The material to be used for the test piece shall be compatible with the weld metal provided by the welding
consumable tested. Alternatively, the groove edges and the backing strip shall be built up with at least two layers
using the welding consumable being tested.

ISO 15792-1:2000(E)

5 Preparation of test piece

The test piece shall be prepared in the form of a single V-groove on a backing strip. The backing strip shall be tack
welded to the test piece on the reverse side. See Figure 1 and Table 1.

The plates of the test piece shall be pre-set or restrained in such a way that a sufficiently flat test piece is produced
for extraction of specimens. The welded test piece shall not be straightened.

The type of test piece defines the dimensions, see Table 1. The type selected for classification purpose is specified
in the relevant consumable standard.

6 Welding conditions

The test piece shall be welded in the flat position except for consumables which are designed exclusively for
welding in another position in which case that position shall be used for welding. The welding shall be started after
applying any preheating requirements given in the consumable standard. The interpass temperature shall also be
in accordance with the consumable standard.

The preheat and interpass temperatures shall be measured using temperature indicator crayons, surface
thermometers or thermocouples, see ISO 13916.

The welding conditions used, such as current, voltage, travel speed, weld run sequence, weld bead size, shall be in
accordance with the limits specified in the relevant consumable standard.

7 Heat treatment
All heat treatments required for the weld metal, except hydrogen removal treatment, shall be carried out on the test
piece, or on sections thereof with a machining allowance.

The heat treatments are specified in standards relating to welding consumables.

Hydrogen removal treatment may be carried out on the test piece for tensile testing before or after final machining.
The test piece may be held at a temperature not exceeding 250 °C for up to 16 h.
