7、AWS) are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules of theAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI). When AWS American National Standards are either incorporated in, ormade part of, documents that are included in federal or state laws and regulations, or t

8、he regulations of other govern-mental bodies, their provisions carry the full legal authority of the statute. In such cases, any changes in those AWSstandards must be approved by the governmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they can become a part ofthose laws and regulations. In all ca

9、ses, these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other documentthat invokes the AWS standards. Where this contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirementsof an AWS standard must be by agreement between the contracting parties.AWS American National Sta

10、ndards are developed through a consensus standards development process that bringstogether volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus. While the AWS administers theprocess and establishes rules to promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not indepen

LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126 (see Annex E).With regard to technical inquiries made concerning AWS standards, oral opinions on AWS standards may be rendered.These opinions are offered solely as a convenience to users of this standard, and they do not constitute professionaladvice. Such opinions

19、 represent only the personal opinions of the particular individuals giving them. These individualsdo not speak on behalf of AWS, nor do these oral opinions constitute official or unofficial opinions or interpretations ofAWS. In addition, oral opinions are informal and should not be used as a substit

Comments (recommen-dations, additions, or deletions

21、) and any pertinent data that may be of use in improving this standard are requiredand should be addressed to AWS Headquarters. Such comments will receive careful consideration by the AWS C7Committee on High Energy Beam Welding and Cutting and the author of the comments will be informed of the Commi

30、The first practical demonstration of a laser occurred in 1960. As laser output power increased through maturing technol-ogy, the use of lasers for material processing became widespread by the early 1970s. Currently, lasers are an acceptedindustrial tool for traditional and nontraditional materials p

31、rocessing operations that benefit from the lasers unique char-acteristics. While the materials processing applications of lasers in industry are diverse, this document focuses on theprocess specification and operator qualification.The data contained in this Process Specification and Operator Qualifi

Critical weld-ments include those where a failure of any portion wouldcause loss of system, loss of major component, loss ofcontrol, unintentional release of critical stores, such asfuel or cargo, or endangerment of personnel.1.2.2 Class BSemicriti

46、cal Applications. Semicriti-cal weldments include those where a failure wouldreduce the overall efficiency of the system, but loss ofthe system or endangerment of personnel would not beexperienced.1.2.3 Class CNoncritical Applications.
