Revised Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian standard which is identical to ISO 14343 : 2017 ‘Welding consumables - Wire electrodes strip electrodes wires and rods for arc welding of stainless and heat resisting steels - Classification’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Welding General and its Applications Sectional Committee and approval of the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 1970 and subsequently revised as IS 5856 : 1991‘Corrosion and heat-resisting chromium-nickel and chromium-steel solid welding rods and bare electrodes - Specification (first revision)’. In second revision the committee adopted ISO 14343 : 2009 under dual numbering system. The third revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO 14343 : 2017.
