Thanks for the replies.
I will get magnet manufacturer to send specifications and forward info on heat affects on magnets.
The magnet casing will be zinc plated carbon steel and the tube will be carbon steel. Sorry for lack of specific base metals but until I get specs I can only be general on info.
The weld detail will be a double flare bevel groove weld if that helps you visualize the joint configuration. Also if you can imagine a frying pan w/o the handle 5" in diameter, that would be the casing. I have not seen the magnet yet but pretty sure this is accurate.
My partner has done the precontract work but I will be involved now. I will try to get sketch soon. He said the mock up demo weld (manual GTAW) showed no signs of arc blow or magnitism.
I was incorrect on material thickness, both members are less than 1/8". My question is if we do PQR,WPS and WPQR should I buy D1.3 Structural Welding Code Sheet Metal or D9.1 Sheet Metal Welding Code? I'm thinking the latter. Probably no prequalified WPS for this?
As previously stated I'm a new CWI. Many years experience in pipe and steel. 0 in sheet metal. We are a small company and I'm trying to get us headed in the right direction i.e.code compliant. We have no SCWI to oversee things. So your input, ideas and advise is appreciated.
Regards,
Tim
