JOIN THE COMMITTEE/SUBCOMMITTEE

The G2 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 (Educators, General Interest, and Users) in regard to the committee’s scope. Contact Stephen Borrero 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 G2.1M/G2.1:2012

Guide for the Joining of Wrought Nickel-Based Alloys

The definitive guide to welding metals and alloys not covered by other standards. Learn the guidelines for welding different wrought nickel based alloys, including solidsolution and precipitation hardening alloys.

AWS G2.3M/G2.3:2019

Guide for the Joining of Solid Solution Austenitic Stainless Steels

This guide presents a description of solid solution austenitic stainless steels and the processes and procedures that can be used for the joining of these materials. This standard discusses the welding processes and welding parameters, qualifications, inspection and repair methods, cleaning, and safety considerations. Practical information has been included in the form of figures, tables, and graphs that should prove useful in determining capabilities and limitations in the joining of austenitic stainless steel.

AWS G2.4/G2.4M:2021

Guide for the Fusion Welding of Titanium and Titanium Alloys

The standard Guide for the Fusion Welding of Titanium and Titanium Alloys provides instructional guidance for the welding of titanium and titanium alloys. This guide explains processes, equipment, materials, workshop practices, joint preparation, welding technique, tests, and the repair of discontinuities.

AWS G2.5/G2.5M:2025

Guide for the Fusion Welding of Zirconium and Zirconium Alloys

The standard Guide for the Fusion Welding of Zirconium and Zirconium Alloys provides instructional guidance for the welding of zirconium and zirconium alloys. This guide explains processes, equipment, materials, workshop practices, joint preparation, welding techniques, tests, and the repair of discontinuities.
