AWS B2.1-1/8-228 – Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) for Shielded Metal Arc Welding of Carbon STeel (M-1/P-1/S-1, Groups 1 or 2) to Austenitic Stainless STeel (M-8/P-8/S-8, Group 1), 1/8 through 1-1/2 Inch Thick, E309(L)-15,-16,or-17

This standard contains the essential welding variables for welding carbon steel to austenitic stainless steel in the thickness range of 1/8 through 1-1/2 inch, using manual shielded metal arc welding. It cites the base metals and operating conditions necessary to make the weldment, the filler metal specifications, and the allowable joint designs for groove and fillet welds. This SWPS was developed primarily for pipe applications.
