The first edition of this new standard represents the culmination of a decade of work by the AWS D14 Committee on Machinery and Equipment. It covers preparation, building up and overlaying by welding, postweld heat treating, finish machining, inspecting, and record-keeping for new and reconditioned industrial mill rolls.

Although the primary focus of this standard is the use of the submerged arc welding process for surfacing and reconditioning, its principles also can be applied, with suitable modifications, to the use of gas metal arc welding, flux cored arc welding, and electroslag cladding.

The document contains 66 pages, and includes 20 figures and 13 tables.
