AWS D1.6 (Structural Stainless Steel)

AWS D1.6’s implementation into ProWrite allows users the ability to enter, store, and access their Structural Stainless Steel Welding documents as well as their welders from within ProWrite Welding Software.

AWS D1.6 is the Structural Stainless Steel welding code developed by The American Welding Society for construction of Stainless Steel components.

This code contains welding requirements for the fabrication, assembly, and erection of welded structures and weldments subject to design stress where at least one of the materials being joined is stainless steel. The code is intended to be used for base metals with a minimum thickness of 1/16 in [1.5 mm] or 16 gage. It shall be used in conjunction with any complementary code or specification for the design or construction of stainless steel structures and weldments. When this code is stipulated in contract documents, conformance with all provisions of the code shall be required, except for those provisions that the Engineer (see 1.5.1) or contract documents specifically modify or exempt.
