4.11.2 It says that one max single pass fillet and one-min size multi-pass fillet is to be made on the test piece. This procedure is for an automatic GMAW (metalcore 1/16" wire) process in the 1F position. The only time this is used in production is to make 4 3/8" fillet welds on an outrigger. So I'm not getting the whole min fillet weld size thing. I understand that I need to make a 3/8" single-pass fillet on one side of the test, but do I really need to make a min (whatever that is) multi-pass weld on the other side with this set up?
One more question. On my groove weld test plates I sent in to get PQR's from I used .052 wire. 4.11.3 consumable verification tests it doesn't say anything about wire size. So does that mean since I'm still using the same tensile wire, but in 1/16" that my PQR's from my other tests will hold up for this fillet weld test on the same material? The reason I need established PQR's for this fillet test is it's with A514 steel welded with an E90C-d2 wire.
