coupon. P-No. 5 has since been deleted, and CrMo materials have been
reassigned to P-Nos. 5A, 5B, and 5C, with SA-213-T9 being assigned to
P-No. 5B. It can be demonstrated that SA-213-T9 is now designated as a
P-No. 5B material.
Reply (1): No. QW-I00.3 applies when later Code editions and addenda
have added new variables for a given welding process. While this WPS can
be shown to be qualified for welding P-No. 5B materials to each other, it is
intended that the WPS be editorially revised to show applicability of the
WPS to the originally qualified materials under the material grouping
assignment found in the applicable edition and addenda of Section IX. See
QW-420.1 and QW-200.2(c).
Question (2): Is it the intent of Section IX that the WPS described above is
acceptable for joining all materials previously assigned P-No. 5?
Reply (2): No. Based upon the original PQR, the WPS is qualified only for
joining materials assigned to P-No. 5B under the current Section IX rules.
See QW-403.13.

Question (1): Does it meet the requirements of ASME Section IX, if the
bend radius and bend test specimen thickness are increased, such that 20%
outer fiber elongation is achieved, and the O.D. of the specimen contains
the entire width of the weld and HAZ?
https://cstools.asme.org/Interpretation/InterpretationDetail.cfm 2016/5/4
页码,24/40
Question (2): Does it meet the requirements of ASME Section IX, if a set of
multiple specimens having the standard 3/8 in. thickness and representing
the entire width of the weld and both HAZs are removed and tested to meet
the requirements for testing the entire width of the weld?
Question (3): Assuming that both of the base metals in the test coupon are
of the same P-No., does it meet the requirements of ASME Section IX, to
use standard 3/8 in. thick bend specimens representing at least one HAZ and
as much weld metal as possible, when performing the required bend test?
Question: A WPS supported by the above PQR using the same filler metal
classification ER80S-G and A-No. 2, but with a different trade name was
specified. When notch toughness (QW-404.12) does not apply, does a
change in the filler trade name specified on the WPS require
requalification?
Reply: No.

Question (2): For the same situation as Question (1), is this procedure
qualified to repair the production weld between the P3 and P8 material if
the repair is entirely within the previously deposited weld metal?
Question: Is it required that the PQR indicate that supplemental filler metal
was not used and must the WPS specify it is not to be used?
Reply: Yes. However, Section IX does not specify the manner in which this
is documented on the PQR or specified on the WPS. The method of
recording information on the PQR and WPS may be by statement, sketch,
or other means as long as the essential variables are addressed.

Question (1): When joining the clad layer of a composite (clad) material
using GTAW where the clad thickness is not considered in the design
calculations, are the essential special process variables or QW-256.1
applicable to the clad portion of the weld?
Question (2): When completing the clad portion of a weld using the GTAW
process, is a WPS qualified to deposit corrosion-resistant weld metal using
alloy 625 (UNS N06625) filler metal, also qualified for depositing a
corrosion-resistant weld metal overlay using alloy 825 (UNS N08065) filler
metal, when the carbon steel base metal has the same P-No. as the base
metal qualified by the WPS?

Question(s) and Reply(ies): Question: Does QW-202.4 allow a WPS qualified on groove weld, with
specified P-No. 1 base metal thickness range of 1/2 in. (13 mm) through 1
in. (25 mm), to be used in production to weld a 1/2 in. (13 mm) thick base
metal to a 3/8 in. (10 mm) thick base metal?

maximum of weld metal?
Question (2): Using E7018, is the welder qualified to deposit 0.664 in.
maximum of weld metal?
Question (3): Is the welder qualified to deposit 0.864 in. of weld metal
using E6010 plus 0.664 in. of E7018 weld metal deposit thickness for a total
of 1.528 in. in the same groove?
Reply: Yes; the deposit thickness for each transfer mode shall be recorded
as required by QW-306.

Question (6): Do PQRs A and C qualify the combination WPS for a base
metal thickness range of 1/16 in. (1.5 mm) to 1 1/2 in. (38 mm) when
impact testing is not required?
Reply: Prior to the 2006 Addenda, the method of certification for procedure
and performance qualification records was not addressed by Section IX.
Question (1): If a WPS is written and qualified for welding P-No.1 material
to itself, is it necessary to specifically mention on the WPS or on the PQR
anything regarding QW-410.64, which addresses the use of thermal
processes for cutting or backgouging when welding on P-No.11A and
P-No.11B materials?
https://cstools.asme.org/Interpretation/InterpretationDetail.cfm 2016/5/4
页码,37/40
Reply (1): No. The fact that the WPS and PQR are for welding on P-No.1
materials precludes the need to specifically describe the use of thermal
cutting or backgouging for P-No.11A or P-No. 11B materials on either the
WPS or the PQR.
Reply (2): No. The designation ER70S-6 specifies that the filler metal be
solid wire, and that is sufficient for describing the variable QW-404.23.
Reply (3): No. The use of active or neutral fluxes only needs to be specified
on the WPS and documented on the PQR when the base metal is P-No.1.
