TOYOTA ENGINEERING STANDARD TSH5603G C1
ARC WELDING
1. Scope
This standard covers the properties of arc-welded portions of automobile parts.
"Arc welding" (hereinafter referred to as "welding") is defined later.
Provisions in the standard do not apply if design drawings, or equivalent
documents (e.g. Technical Instruction Sheets) contain special provisions on
welding. The standard does not cover portions welded for reasons related to
production process (e.g. temporarily welded portions). If sections made of
high-carbon steel*, alloy steel*, or carburized steel are to be welded, the design,
production technology and other departments concerned shall discuss issues
related to material properties (e.g. hardness at heat attack zone etc.), before
applying the standard.
Remark:
*: Material with a carbon content of 0.3 mass% or more
1.1 Welded Materials
Materials specified in TSG3100G, TSG3101G, TSG3103G, TSG3107G, TSG3108G,
TSG3109G, TSG3111G, TSG3113G, TSG3150G, TSG3153G, TSG3154G, TSG3155G, TSG3200G,
TSG3211G, TSG3220G, TSG3242G, TSG3290G, TSG3580G, TSG7200G, TSG7202G, TSG7203G,
and TSG7207G; and equivalent materials
1.2 Welding Method

Object welding methods comprise CO2 arc welding, MIG welding, MAG welding, TIG
welding, plasma welding, and shielded metal arc welding. However, arc spot
welding via these methods is not covered by this standard.
Remark:
This standard covers processes and product manufacturing. It does not cover
various loads applied to vehicle welded sections in the market. It is
allowable that individual cross sections of welded portions do not meet the
standard, if the portions can bear design loads by maintaining part of required
characteristics.

5.2 Section Test

Cut weld along a section approximately vertical to the weld line, via an
appropriate method (that does not entail affection by heat, cracking, etc.).
Then, conduct the test in accordance with TSG2100G.
6. Marking on Drawing
Marking method on drawing shall be as follows:
(1) In cases where this standard is applicable, "Quality for arc welding conforms
to TSH5603G" shall be noticeably indicated in the space for notes.
(2) If necessary, indicate class by each welding portion as follows. Do not
indicate class if a welding portion falls under Class C.
Fig. 16 Example of Class Indication
(3) In cases where this standard is not applicable, appropriate property values
shall be indicated case by case.
