AWS A5.32M/A5.32 – Welding Consumables—Gases and Gas Mixtures for Fusion Welding and Allied Processes – 3rd Edition
This standard specifies the classification and designation of shielding gases and gas mixtures used in fusion welding and allied processes. It covers gases that chemically shield or react with the filler material, base metal, and weld metal in processes such as GTAW, GMAW, FCAW, PAW, PAC, LBW, and EGW. Gases are classified based on chemical composition and metallurgical behavior to support proper selection and simplify qualification procedures. Gas purity and mixing tolerances are defined as supplied by the manufacturer. Safety and health considerations are referenced but not fully addressed.
