Descriptions for B23K and notes/indexes are displayed on this screen.


Note(s)
    This subclass covers also electric circuits specially adapted for the purposes covered by the title of the subclass [5]In this subclass, the following term is used with the meaning indicated:
      "soldering" means uniting metals using solder and applying heat without melting either of the parts to be united 
    In groups B23K 1/00-B23K 31/00, it is desirable to add the indexing codes of groups B23K 101/00 or B23K 103/00
