Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 25239-3 was prepared by the International Institute of Welding, which has been approved as an
international standardizing body in the field of welding by the ISO Council.
ISO 25239 consists of the following parts, under the general title Friction stir welding — Aluminium:
 Part 1: Vocabulary
 Part 2: Design of weld joints
 Part 3: Qualification of welding operators
 Part 4: Specification and qualification of welding procedures
 Part 5: Quality and inspection requirements

ISO 25239-3:2011(E)
Introduction
Welding processes are widely used in the fabrication of engineered structures. During the second half of the
twentieth century, fusion welding processes, wherein fusion is obtained by the melting of parent material and
usually a filler metal, dominated the welding of large structures. Then, in 1991, Wayne Thomas at TWI
invented friction stir welding (FSW), which is carried out entirely in the solid phase (no melting).
The increasing use of FSW has created the need for this International Standard in order to ensure that
welding is carried out in the most effective way and that appropriate control is exercised over all aspects of the
operation. This International Standard focuses on the FSW of aluminium because, at the time of publication,
the majority of commercial applications for FSW involved aluminium. Examples include railway carriages,
consumer products, food processing equipment, aerospace structures, and marine vessels.
The parts of this International Standard are listed in the foreword.
Part 1 defines terms specific to FSW.
Part 2 specifies design requirements for FSW joints in aluminium.
Part 3 specifies requirements for the qualification of an operator for the FSW of aluminium.
Part 4 specifies requirements for the specification and qualification of welding procedures for the FSW of
aluminium. A welding procedure specification (WPS) is needed to provide a basis for planning welding
operations and for quality control during welding. Welding is considered a special process in the terminology
of standards for quality systems. Standards for quality systems usually require that special processes be
carried out in accordance with written procedure specifications. Metallurgical deviations constitute a special
problem. Because non-destructive testing of the mechanical properties is impossible at the present level of
technology, this has resulted in the establishment of a set of rules for qualification of the welding procedure
prior to the release of the WPS to actual production. ISO 25239-4 defines these rules.
Part 5 specifies a method for determining the capability of a manufacturer to use the FSW process for the
production of aluminium products of the specified quality. It defines specific quality requirements, but does not
assign those requirements to any specific product group. To be effective, welded structures should be free
from serious problems in production and in service. To achieve that goal, it is necessary to provide controls
from the design phase through material selection, fabrication, and inspection. For example, poor design can
create serious and costly difficulties in the workshop, on site or in service. Incorrect material selection can
result in welding problems, such as cracking. Welding procedures have to be correctly formulated and
qualified to avoid imperfections. To ensure the fabrication of a quality product, management should
understand the sources of potential trouble and introduce appropriate quality and inspection procedures.
Supervision should be implemented to ensure that the specified quality is achieved.

Part 3:
Qualification of welding operators
1 Scope
This part of ISO 25239 specifies requirements for the qualification of welding operators for the friction stir
welding (FSW) of aluminium. In this part of ISO 25239, the term «aluminium» refers to aluminium and its
alloys.
This part of ISO 25239 does not apply to friction stir spot welding.

 welding procedure test, see 4.3.2;
 pre-production welding test or production welding test, see 4.3.3;
 production welding sample test, see 4.3.4.
In addition, the welding operator's knowledge of the welding unit to be used for the qualification test shall be
tested. See Annex A.
Any of the welding operator qualification tests can be supplemented by a test of knowledge related to welding
technology. Such a test is recommended, but it is not mandatory. Annex B includes an example of such an
examination.
The essential variables and ranges of qualification are specified in 4.2 and the validity is specified in Clause 5.
Provided that the welding operator works in accordance with a welding procedure specification (WPS), the
range of qualification shall be limited only as specified in 4.2.
A suggested form for the welding operator's qualification certificate is shown in Annex C.
4.2 Essential variables and ranges of qualification
4.2.1 General
The qualification of welding operators is based on essential variables, as specified in 4.2.2 to 4.2.5. For each
essential variable, a range of qualification is defined. If a welding operator is required to weld outside the
range of qualification, then a new qualification test is required.
NOTE Friction stir welding is a mechanized process. However, because it is also a solid-state welding process, the
essential variables are different from those applicable to fusion welding processes.
