We are looking to convert from FCAW to MCAW. Does AWS D1.1 consider metal core arc welding (MCAW) a different process? i.e. Would clause 3.2 apply, and I would have to qualify all of your WPS or is it treated as a variation of the FCAW or GMAW process?

If you are referring to the metal-cored composite electrode it is a GMAW process (EXXC-XC). Therefore you would have to write a seperate WPS if all you have is for FCAW. Hope this helps.
