I need to get some WPS's for stainless and Aluminum.   Does the SWPS's work for different thickness?  Is It cost effedtive?  I will be needing these for Architectural Work  any recomendations would be helpful!

regards
David

Research very carefully before you purchase.

They can be nice if the work your doing falls within the limitations of the SWPS.

D1.6 structural code for stainless has a section devoted to development of prequalified procedures.  This may be a better course of action.

Each SWPS provides a specific thickness range, shield gas selection, amperage/wfs ranges etc.

Many would argue with Aluminum work that it is much better to qualify your procedures to prove your process is under control.
