Quality Criteria for G3Si1 and G4Si1 Electrode Wires

Abstract

The article presents test results concerning the quality of ISO 14341-A-G3Si1 and G4Si1 electrode wires based on electrode wire-related quality criteria in accordance with the requirements specified in the PN-EN ISO 14341 and PN-EN ISO 544 standards. The article discusses the critical defects of the wires (non-conformities with standard requirements) as well as defects not covered by the requirements of the standards, yet decisive as regards the assessment of electrode wires by the user.
