Resistance welding - Spot welding of aluminium and aluminium alloys - Weldability, welding and testing (ISO 18595:2021)
This document specifies requirements for resistance spot welding in the fabrication of assemblies of aluminium sheet, extrusions (both work- and age-hardening alloys) and/or cast material comprising two or three thicknesses of metal, where the maximum single (sheet) thickness of components to be welded is within the range 0,6 mm to 6 mm.
This document is applicable to the welding of sheets or plates of dissimilar thickness where the thickness ratio is less than or equal to 3:1. It applies to the welding of three thicknesses where the total thickness is less than or equal to 9 mm.
Welding with the following types of machines is within the scope of this document:
— pedestal welding machines;
— gun welders;
— automatic welding equipment where the components are fed by robots or automatic feeding equipment;
— multi-welders;
— robotic welders.
Information on appropriate welding equipment is given in Annex A and on spot welding conditions in Annex B. The latter are for guidance only and can require modification depending on service conditions of the fabrication, type of welding equipment, characteristics of the secondary circuit, electrode material and geometry.
The welding of coated material, e.g. zinc-coated or anodized material, is outside the scope of this document.
Widerstandsschweißen - Punktschweißen von Aluminium und Aluminiumlegierungen - Schweißeignung, Schweißen und Prüfungen (ISO 18595:2021)
Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen für das Widerstandspunktschweißen bei der Herstellung von Verbindungen aus Aluminiumblech, Strangpressprofilen (kaltverfestigte und ausgehärtete Legierungen) und/oder Gusswerkstoffen im Zwei- oder Dreilagen-Punktschweißen fest. Dabei liegt die maximale Einzelblechdicke der zu schweißenden Bauteile in einem Bereich von 0,6 mm bis 6 mm.
Dieses Dokument ist für das Schweißen von Blechen oder Platten verschiedener Dicken, wobei das Dickenverhältnis kleiner oder gleich 3:1 ist, anzuwenden. Es ist für das Dreilagenschweißen bis zu einer Gesamtdicke von 9 mm anzuwenden.
Schweißen mit den folgenden Maschinenarten fällt in den Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokuments:
— Ständerschweißanlagen;
— Punktschweißgeräte mit Stoßelektrode;
— Automatik-Schweißeinrichtungen, bei denen die Bauteile von Robotern oder automatischen Vorschubeinrichtungen zugeführt werden;
— Vielpunktschweißanlagen;
— Schweißroboter.
Angaben über geeignete Schweißeinrichtungen sind in Anhang A enthalten und über Punktschweiß-bedingungen in Anhang B. Letztere dienen nur zur Information und können Änderungen erforderlich machen, abhängig von den Betriebsbedingungen bei der Herstellung, der Art der Schweißeinrichtung, den Kenndaten des Sekundärstromkreises, dem Elektrodenwerkstoff und der Geometrie.
Schweißen von beschichtetem Werkstoff, z. B. Werkstoffe mit Zinküberzug oder anodisierte Werkstoffe, liegt außerhalb des Anwendungsbereiches dieses Dokuments.
Soudage par résistance - Soudage par points de l'aluminium et des alliages d'aluminium - Soudabilité, soudage et essais (ISO 18595:2021)
Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives au soudage par résistance par points réalisé pour la fabrication d'assemblages de tôles d'aluminium, de pièces extrudées (alliages écrouis et vieillis) et/ou de pièces moulées comprenant deux ou trois épaisseurs de métal, dont l'épaisseur (de tôle) unique maximale des composants à souder est comprise entre 0,6 mm et 6 mm.
Le présent document s'applique au soudage de tôles ou de plaques d'épaisseurs différentes et dont le rapport entre les épaisseurs est inférieur ou égal à 3:1. Il s'applique au soudage de trois épaisseurs dont l'épaisseur totale est inférieure ou égale à 9 mm.
Le soudage avec les types de machines ci-dessous entre dans le domaine d'application du présent document:
— machines de soudage avec commande au pied;
— pinces à souder;
— matériel de soudage automatique avec lequel les composants sont mis en place par des robots ou par des appareils d'alimentation automatique;
— machines à souder multipoints;
— robots de soudage.
Les informations sur le matériel de soudage adéquat sont fournies à l'Annexe A et les informations sur les conditions de soudage par points sont fournies à l'Annexe B. Ces dernières sont communiquées à titre informatif uniquement et peuvent impliquer des modifications selon les conditions de fabrication, le type de matériel de soudage, les caractéristiques du circuit secondaire et du matériau et la forme de l'électrode.
Le soudage de matériaux revêtus (les matériaux galvanisés ou anodisés, par exemple) n'entre pas dans le domaine d'application du présent document.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
