Overview
EN 1011-2:2001 - "Welding - Recommendations for welding of metallic materials - Part 2: Arc welding of ferritic steels" (CEN) provides practical guidance for the arc welding of ferritic steels. The standard covers manual, semi‑mechanised, mechanised and automatic arc welding of ferritic steels (see clause 5), excluding ferritic stainless steels, and applies to ferritic steels in all product forms. It is intended as a recommendations document to support safe, reliable welding practice and consistent weld quality.
Key Topics
The standard addresses the principal technical topics relevant to arc welding of ferritic steels, including:
- Welding processes and modes: guidance for manual, semi‑mechanised, mechanised and automatic arc welding techniques.
- Material considerations: selection and behaviour of ferritic steels (reference to clause 5 for scope of steels covered).
- Joint preparation and design: recommendations for groove types and fit‑up appropriate to arc welding.
- Welding procedure factors: control of heat input, sequence, interpass temperatures, and effects on microstructure and mechanical properties.
- Filler metal and consumables: general guidance on selection consistent with base material requirements.
- Pre‑ and post‑weld treatments: stress relief, cleaning, and any surface preparation measures to reduce defects.
- Quality and inspection: recommended inspection practices to detect common welding defects and ensure weld integrity.
- Safety and environmental considerations: general welding safety best practices associated with arc processes.
(EN 1011-2 offers recommendations rather than prescriptive requirements; specific parameters and acceptance criteria are typically defined by contract specifications or complementary standards.)
Applications
EN 1011-2:2001 is applicable wherever ferritic steels are arc‑welded, including:
- Structural steel fabrication (bridges, buildings, frames)
- Pressure vessels and piping where ferritic grades are used
- Heavy engineering, fabrication shops and construction sites
- Automated welding lines for production components
Use this standard to develop welding procedure specifications (WPS), inform welder training and qualification, and guide quality control and inspection plans for ferritic steel assemblies.
Who should use this standard
- Welding engineers and supervisors drafting WPS and procedure qualification records (PQR)
- Fabrication and production managers using mechanised/automatic welding systems
- NDT and quality assurance personnel setting inspection strategies
- Designers and specification writers referencing best practice for weldability of ferritic steels
- Training providers and welding instructors
