ISO International Standard

ISO 19288:2016 specifies requirements for the classification of solid wire electrodes, solid wires and rods for fusion welding of magnesium and magnesium alloys. The classification is based on their chemical composition.

The compositions of solid wire electrodes for metal inert gas (MIG) welding are the same as solid wire electrodes, solid wires and rods for tungsten inert gas (TIG) arc welding, plasma arc welding, laser beam welding, laser-MIG hybrid welding and other fusion welding processes.
