TS EN 14610

TS EN 14610 is a welding terminology standard that defines the terms used to identify and distinguish metal welding processes. It classifies those processes according to their physical characteristics and the relevant energy carrier, helping users describe different welding methods in a consistent technical language.

How welding processes are distinguished

In welding practice, process names are not just labels; they reflect how heat is generated, what carries the energy to the joint, and which physical principle creates the bond. The scope of this standard follows that logic by organising metal welding processes through their defining physical characteristics and energy source. That makes it easier to separate processes that may look similar in shop-floor use but are technically different.

Why a terminology standard matters

• Supports consistent naming of welding processes across languages and technical documents.
• Helps differentiate methods by their physical principle and energy carrier rather than by informal usage.
• Provides a common vocabulary for specifications, training material, and manufacturing documentation.
• Focuses on metal welding processes, supporting clearer classification within the wider welding field.

This listing represents the withdrawn TS EN 14610 edition based on EN 14610. For customers, its value lies in understanding the established terminology used for metal welding processes and the conceptual boundaries between process families, while staying within the scope indicated by the title and abstract.
