TS EN 18007-1

TS EN 18007-1 is a vocabulary standard for electromagnetic pulse welding, bringing together the terms and definitions used in this joining process. Its role is to standardize the technical language around the process rather than to prescribe welding procedure settings or acceptance requirements. In practice, that kind of terminology document supports clear communication across engineering, manufacturing, training, and documentation.

Why the terminology matters

Electromagnetic pulse welding is a joining method that uses short-duration electromagnetic forces to form a bond between components. In general technical context, such processes are often discussed alongside material type, joint design, tooling, and process arrangement, because these factors influence how the method is applied. A terminology standard helps ensure that the same term is understood consistently in design notes, process descriptions, research, and industrial use.

The scope of this document is limited to terms and definitions related to electromagnetic pulse welding. It also states that the term “aluminium” refers to aluminium and its alloys. That clarification is useful in technical vocabulary work, where precise naming of base materials and alloy families can affect how process-related information is read and shared.

Practical reading of the document

• Focuses on terminology for a welding process, not on welding operation requirements.
• Provides a common language for electromagnetic pulse welding.
• Clarifies that “aluminium” includes aluminium and its alloys.
• Supports consistent interpretation in technical communication and documentation.
