Welding Standards Showdown: AWS vs. CWB - What You Need to Know!

Welding is a critical process that demands strict adherence to industry standards. In North America, two of the most commonly used welding standards are those set by the American Welding Society (AWS) and the Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB).
While both standards share similarities, there are significant differences that welders need to be aware of to ensure they are producing high-quality, safe welds.
Join us as we explore the differences between AWS and CWB welding standards, including welding procedure specifications, welding certification, and welding inspection requirements. We'll also discuss how these differences can impact the welding process and the final product.
Whether you're a seasoned welder or a beginner, this video is an essential resource for understanding the differences between AWS and CWB welding standards and ensuring your welding projects meet the highest quality standards.

    When I got training in Comprehensive welding a 9 month training through Baytown Industrial welding. We were not allowed any backing strips! They were trying to teach us Pipe Welding and that meant we put the root pass in and had to have the weld geometry perfect on the inside!

    Very interesting comparison. Here in Europe, also an important requirement is to follow and understand the welding procedure specification, which set out the process to use and may limit your favorite way of running your beads. Lol. Cheers.

    CWB testing? As a person that lives in Alberta outside of industry, self testing practical equipment repairs to wait out manufacturing industry delays is something that can take place... example, a 1 inch round power take off shaft broke... after disassembly the part was taken in and inspected for fracture depth on both faces of the PTO shaft, the part was then fitted in a jig to align it properly so it can be gouged out removing all fractured metal and welded back together, shaft stud beveled to 45 degrees past center and welded to the 90 degree face of the PTO hub in a singular "tack weld at 165amp's at 74 volts using 1/8'' E7018" part rotated 180 degrees and repeated then rotated 90 degrees and repeated for covering all 4 90 degree segments finishing with a centered base weld on the 1 inch stud that is 25% to 30% of the shaft diameter... grinding and cleaning before each weld tack and such to then run stringers from the hub face across the splined studs beveled portion in the flat welding position insuring thru all process the ground strap is directly on the 90 degree hub face and not the beveled stud, rotating 180 degrees 90 then 180 and 90 180 90 180... till the joint is filled. 1 inch drive line stud of 4340 welded with 1/8'' E7018 at 165amp with a 74 volt hot start "watts"... in testing of a simulated abrasion surface it rotated an equivalent 900 pound load for 70'000km... and under rapid testing sustained an internal peak torsional load of a standardized unit meeting 178'000psi at the end of its 70'000km simulated abrasion cycle... standard CV axles for a ford 8.8 are warrantied for 180'000psi to 230'000psi tensile over 75'000km. 93% abrasion 77% tensile ... to that is was the 4340 stud that broke not the weld tho the brake was clean and flat similar to the original brake being that the 45 degree beveled portion was what broke not the fusion point of the 90 degree hub face allowing the hub to stay partly captive in its bearing race preventing additional damage. to that of the actual fractures on the part that was welded then broke being 3 times longer then the fractures on the original OEM broken PTO stud... 85% 7018 is a 70'000psi tensile rod to a 4918 process being 100'000psi tensile and including base metal contamination that permeated throughout the entreaty of the weld... 178'000psi is 178% above indicated process limitations 131.5% over all. its $50 to buy a new axle, its $5 just to weld it to at least 85% of OEM standard. where as a 85'000km OEM used part would be a 0 grade as it is passed its usage scale of -1% per 800km. welded 85% of an OEM specification part is better then a junk yard scratch and sniff "only smelt nice once still says win but there's nothing behind it, maybe a 50 cent Slurpee followed by a quick coming brain f... fff...".
