JOIN THE COMMITTEE / SUBCOMMITTEE

The D17 Committee seeks volunteers to participate in its standards development process. The committee is recruiting all types of members as well as members with specific interests (Consultants, Educators, and General Interest) in regard to the committee’s scope. Contact Exsenet Esler to learn more about this committee’s work and/or complete the Technical Committee Application.

As part of the standards development process, joining this committee will give you access to Accuris Engineering Workbench to streamline your workflow.

PUBLISHED DOCUMENTS

AWS D17.1/D17.1M:2024

Specification for Fusion Welding for Aerospace Applications

This specification provides the general welding requirements for welding aircraft and space hardware. It includes but is not limited to the fusion welding of aluminum-based, nickel-based, iron-based, cobalt-based, magnesium-based, and titanium-based alloys using electric arc and high energy beam processes. There are requirements for welding design, personnel and procedure qualification, fabrication, inspection, and acceptance criteria for aerospace, support, non-flight hardware, and crewed spaceflight hardware. Additional requirements cover repair welding of existing hardware.

AWS D17.2/D17.2M:2019

Specification for Resistance Welding for Aerospace Applications

This specification provides the general resistance welding requirements for aerospace hardware. It includes, but is not limited to, resistance spot and resistance seam welding of aluminum, magnesium, iron, nickel, cobalt, and titanium-based alloys. There are requirements for machine and welding schedule qualification, production witness samples, and inspection and acceptance criteria for aerospace hardware.

AWS D17.3/D17.3M:2021

Specification for Friction Stir Welding of Aluminum Alloys for Aerospace Applications

This specification covers the general requirements for the friction stir welding of aluminum alloys for aerospace applications. It includes the requirements for weldment design, qualification of personnel and procedures, fabrication, and inspection.
