This specification provides the requirements for welding steel and weld symbols on drawings
Scope: This document applies to the Automotive Service Solutions; Owatonna, MN; Kalamazoo and Warren,
MI; Cleveland, OH and Romeoville, IL facilities.
Definitions:
MPa or Mega Pascal is the metric conversion from psi. 1 MPa = 145 psi.
Weld size will include English or more recently metric. Common metric sizes will include 3.00, 5.00, 7.00, 10.00,
13.00 and 16.00 mm as conversions for 0.125, 0.188, 0.250, 0.375, 0.500 and 0.625 in.

2.0 Specifications
2.1 ANSI/AWS Standards
All weld symbols on engineering drawings shall be specified and interpreted according to AWS A2.4-98 or
newer editions, except where noted in this specification. See Appendix A Weld Callout & Symbol
Interpretations.
Drawings that do not conform to this standard may be referred to Manufacturing or Design Engineering for
clarification or update.
2.2 Material Selection
The following categories are general guidelines for the weldability of various US grades of steel that are
commonly used at these Bosch facilities. Specific questions should be directed to the Metallurgical Department.
2.2.1 Easily Weldable
AISI 1008 through 1030 low carbon steels
ASTM A36 structural steels
ASTM A500, A501, A512, A513, and A519 steel tubes
2.2.2 Weldable May require pre-heat and post-heat as specified in routing/drawing.
AISI 1031 through 1050 medium carbon steels
AISI 4130, 4140, 4142, 4350, 6150 and 8620 alloy steels
PWHT of ASTM A514, A517, A709 grades 100 and 100W and A710 steels are not
recommended.
2.2.3 Not Easily Weldable
AISI 1050 and higher carbon steels
AISI 1117, 1141, 1144 and 4145 alloy steels
Fatigue-Proof and Stress-Proof steels
All tool steels.
