European Weld Process Number
European Weld Process Number
(OP)
I have a couple of German welding procedure specifications that refer to weld process numbers 135 and 141. Based on the welding parameters, they are both spooled wire processes, running at 2-7 meters/minute, DC - positive polarity.
135 uses inert gas 100% Ar
141 uses "active" gas 99% Ar - 1% Oxygen.
Given that both are positive polarity, I am assuming they are both GTAW process. Is there a site that identifies the DIN weld process numbers.

135 being MAG (not MIG) welding, which is solid wire but active gas!
100% Ar != active
