I'm new to the whole WPS/PQR landscape, so forgive me if I'm asking something obvious. I'm preparing a WPS for a D17-1 spec using 17-7 PH. I've been reading through D17.1 and B2.1, and I'm not finding an M number for 17-7 PH (or 17-4 for that matter). If I can't find the base metal in AWS's 200-page crazy table of base metals, should I go with the ASME or UNS number? B2.1 doesn't really say anything about how to address metals not included in their list of base metals or filler metals, and D17-1 just refers to B2.1 for how to structure the WPS. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
