7、 and is based on the current practice in the manufacture of ground combat vehicles. Therefore, the section that normally would be included to establish design standards has been eliminated from this code. This follows the practice within this industry of having design performed by structural design
8、engineers using the latest in finite element analysis techniques. This code has been divided into 9 sections (sections 1 through 10, with section 2, normally applied to design, eliminated) that can be grouped into the following areas related to welding manufacture: General welding procedural require
9、ments for the qualification of welding processes and weld joint geometries. Specific requirements for qualifying welders for various welding processes. Specific requirements for welds in four different categories: Stud Welding Non-Critical Welding Critical Welding (Except Ballistic Structures) Balli
10、stic Welding Generally, the requirements for welds in the latter three categories can be related to the prior military specifications, as follows: Quality standards of Section 8, related to welding of attachments, is based upon MIL-STD-372, Class B. Quality standards of Section 9, related to welding
11、 of primary nonballistic structures, is based upon MIL-STD-372, Class A. Quality standards of Section 10, related to welding of structures subject to ballistic attack, is based upon MIL-STD-1946. For simplicity, this document can be divided into separate working sections. Sections 7 through 10 descr
12、ibe the requirements for specific weld categories and should be used to control welding of these individual categories. They should be used in conjunction with Section 6 which establishes basic quality procedures. Sections 1 through 5, excluding the nonexistent Section 2, establish the general workm
13、anship and technique requirements for all aluminum welding. It also establishes the qualification of procedures and of welders. These sections produce the framework for good welding performance in any facility fabricating components for our countrys defense. They must be followed for the establishme
14、nt of an acceptable facility with welders capable of performing the welding needed for this fabrication.
