ISO 15608

In the case of material groups of metallic materials , an attempt is made to divide the weldable materials into groups with comparable characteristic properties.

Quote from ISO / RT 15608: 2013-8, national foreword:

“The groups are finely divided in order to also record special properties such as behavior during heat treatment and forming. However, it is expressly intended to combine groups of materials for verifications of materials with a comparable property profile, e.g. B. for welder qualifications and welding procedure tests. "

Application standards for pressure vessels , pipelines , gas supply, steam boilers , building construction and vehicle construction use this grouping of metallic materials .

For a correct classification of a material into a material group number, the following standards should also be observed, as deviations can occur here:

  • CEN ISO / TR20172
  • CEN ISO / TR20173
  • CEN ISO / TR20174

An example is the material G20Mo5 (1.5419). When breaking down this material and considering the mechanical properties, it would have to be assigned to group 1.1 according to CEN ISO / TR 15608. (C0.15-0.23, SI <0.6, Mn0.5-1, P0.025, S <0.3, Mo0.4-0.6, Ni <0.4, Cu, 0.3, V, 0.05 / Rp0.2 = 245)
The However, the above-mentioned CEN ISO / TR20172 assigns it to group 3.1.
Reason: The G20Mo5 is heat-resistant cast steel, although it has similar strength values ​​to simple structural steel at room temperature, but these still up to approx. 500 ° C, where structural steel is already soft, and the G20Mo5 can be tempered.
