Conditions of Use
Safety and Health
Those involved with the welding industry are obligated to provide safe working conditions and be aware of the potential hazards associated with welding fumes, gases, radiation, electrical shock, heat, eye injuries, burns, etc. Various municipal, state and federal regulations (OSHA, for example) relating to the welding and cutting processes must be considered.
The operation and maintenance of welding and cutting equipment should conform to the provisions of American National Standard ANSI Z49.1, ‘Safety in Welding and Cutting’. Attention is especially directed to Section 4 (Protection of Personnel), Section 5 (Ventilation) and Section 7 (Confined Spaces) of that document. Adequate ventilation is required during all welding and cutting operations. Specific requirements are included in Section 5 for natural ventilation versus mechanical ventilation methods. When welding in confined spaces, ventilation shall also be sufficient to assure adequate oxygen for life support.
The precautionary warning, which is supplied with all Haynes welding products, should be provided and fully understood by all employees involved with welding.

General Instructions
General
Select one alloy each from Base Material 1 and Base Material 2. It is possible for both selections to be the same alloy. The suggested filler metal selections have not been directly evaluated and are based on an estimation of achieving similar strength or environmental resistance to the selected alloys. Preference is given to a filler metal matching one of the two alloys. A dissimilar alloy filler metal is sometimes suggested for improved weldability or metallurgical compatibility. The user is encouraged to conduct a specific evaluation to determine if a filler metal would provide suitable performance for the intended service conditions.
Specific
General Use Service – Assumes that there are no specific service condition requirements.
High Corrosion Service – Filler metal selections are based on achieving suitable corrosion resistance.
High Temperature Service – Filler metal selections are based on achieving suitable temperature resistance.
