I haven't even begun to look at what the characteristics of this steel are so I really just through the 80S out there. We weld the sills with ER70S-3 right now. We use a lot of 80S around here at the moment and I figured A513 would have similar characteristics to A514. Our engineers do not even specify a depth of bevel on the print so I need to go after those guys here shortly. I still have some work to do before I even think about striking an arc.lol
Ok, it says you must do 3 macro's, 2 tension specimens, 2 root bends and 2 face bends. How do you qualify the PJP root bends when they are not fully penetrated? They will bust wide open. It looks like Table 4.3 (note C) leads me to table 4.2 then to notes a and g. Note A looks like it tells me that I need to weld one coupon for each qualified position. So if I qualify this procedure in the 5G does that mean I need to do it 3 times? Or am I starting to look a bit to far into this now?
Thanks, Ray C.
