ISO 18274:2023 — Nickel and Nickel-Alloy Welding Consumables
Procurement reference for classification of solid wire electrodes, strip electrodes, wires and rods for fusion welding of nickel and nickel alloys.
This MNK-G.S.A page is an original procurement summary. It does not reproduce or replace the protected ISO publication.
Scope in Procurement
- ISO 18274:2023 specifies classification requirements for solid wire electrodes, solid strip electrodes, solid wires and solid rods used for fusion welding of nickel and nickel alloys.
- Classification is based on chemical composition and covers compositions in which nickel exceeds every other element. The document states that its principles can also be applied to metal powders for cladding, hard facing and additive manufacturing.
- The ISO classification does not establish automatic approval for a base alloy, dissimilar joint or service. Manufacturer data, the approved WPS and project requirements remain controlling.
Where This Standard Fits
| Product forms | Solid wire electrodes, strip electrodes, wires and rods |
| Material context | Fusion welding of nickel and nickel alloys |
| Classification basis | Chemical composition |
| Additional context | Principles may be applied to specified metal-powder routes; order requirements still govern |
Ordering and Document Controls
- Exact ISO classification and edition
- Wire, rod, strip or applicable powder route
- Dimensions, package form, quantity and lot identity
- Certificate, manufacturer datasheet and traceability
- Base material, joint, service conditions and approved WPS
- Project, OEM, class and destination requirements
Edition control: the purchase order, approved specification, manufacturer documentation and current authorised ISO publication govern the supply. A classification or material name alone does not prove compliance or application approval.
