17.10 Chapter Conclusion
David Colameco, M.Ed.
Summary
As a welding student everything that you are taught and welding is influenced heavily by welding codes. From the A36 steel that you weld on at school, to the welding electrodes such as E-6010 or E-7018, to the joints such as T-joints and Butt joints, are all included in codes as acceptable materials, electrodes, and joints for common fabrications.
This chapter gave a broad overview of welding codes and standards that exist for many of the common industries you may encounter. If any of the industries or fabrications interest you, you are highly encouraged to find more information and contact welders for advice that is specific to your career goals.
