Welding for Aerospace
Applications
This revolutionary
document represents the
most significant change
to aviation welding
standards in more than 30 years, including coverage
in three areas never addressed in MIL-STDs: design,
repair and nonflight hardware. And, for the first time,
there are authoritative procedures for weld repair
of in-service (existing) aerospace flight hardware.
In fact, the standards use of weld repair technology
enables weld overhaul beyond the areas originally
designated for a weld.
The excellent coverage on inspection is bolstered
with information to avoid both under- and overinspection, arising from the D17 Committees position
that, Choosing acceptance criteria beyond the
capability of the welding process may lead to
numerous inspection rejections, increasing costs.
