ISO/TR 17671-5:2004给出了通过适当的电弧焊接工艺和电渣钢带熔覆焊接复合钢的一般建议。 它通常适用于所有复合钢，并且适用于任何类型的制造，尽管应用标准可能有其他要求。ISO/TR 17671-5:2004未涵盖钛、钽、锆及其合金等有色金属覆层。 ISO/TR 17671-5:2004涵盖了熔覆层沉积物的焊接，以及母材和熔覆层之间存在过渡区时的焊接。这些过渡区是非金属的金属组合- 含高合金不锈钢、镍合金或其他有色金属的合金黑色母材。 ISO/TR 17671-5:2004未涵盖接头的机械和物理设计。测试方法和验收水平不包括在内，因为它们取决于制造的使用条件。包层的耐腐蚀性取决于许多因素，不属于ISO/TR 17671:2004的一部分。

ISO/TR 17671-5:2004 gives general recommendations for the welding of clad steels by means of appropriate arc welding processes and electroslag strip cladding. It is generally applicable to all clad steels and is appropriate regardless of the type of fabrication involved, although the application standard may have additional requirements. Non-ferrous claddings, such as titanium, tantalum, zirconium and their alloys are not covered by ISO/TR 17671-5:2004. ISO/TR 17671-5:2004 covers welding of cladding deposits as well as welding of the transition zone(s), when existant, between parent metal and cladding. These transition zones are metal combinations of non-alloyed ferrous parent metal with high alloyed stainless steels, nickel alloys or other non-ferrous metals. The mechanical and physical design of the joints is not covered by ISO/TR 17671-5:2004. Methods of testing and acceptance levels are not included because they depend on the service conditions of the fabrication. The corrosion resistance of the cladding depends on many factors and is not part of ISO/TR 17671:2004.
