AWS releases new technical standards
Miami-based American Welding Society (AWS) has released two new technical standards.
AWS C2.20/C2.20M:2016, Specification for Thermal Spraying Zinc Anodes on Steel Reinforced Concrete, covers the application of zinc thermal spray coatings to steel-reinforced concrete using arc and flame spray equipment. This publication is formatted for industrial process instructions and includes information on job descriptions, safety, equipment, surface preparation, thermal spraying, and quality control.
AWS D16.1:2004 (R2016), Specification for Robotic Arc Welding Safety, is a reaffirmation of the 2004 standard which includes minor editorial changes. The standard establishes safety requirements with respect to the design, manufacture, maintenance, and operation of arc welding robot systems. It also helps to identify and prevent hazards involved in all aspects of robotic arc welding systems.
Both standards are available for purchase at pubs.aws.org.
