    Gives general recommendations for manual, mechanized and automatic fusion welding of cast and wrought aluminium alloys and combinations thereof.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard gives general recommendations for the manual, mechanized and automatic fusion welding of wrought and cast aluminium alloys and combinations thereof.

    For general guidelines, see EN 1011-1.

    In this standard the word \'pipe\' alone or in combinations is used to mean \'tube\' or \'hollow section\', although these terms are often used for different categories of product by different industries.
