Up Topic Welding Industry / Inspection & Qualification / Prequalified WPS for dissimilar metals
- - By Rakesh Date 06-06-2015 13:59
We know there is option in AWS D1.1 & D1.6 to make pre-qualified WPS from the code. My doubt is, if there is any way we can combine these and make a WPS for dissimilar metals,ie, Carbon steel to Stainless steel. Appreciate your point of views.

Thanks n Regards,
Rakesh

Welcome to the forum!

If the base metals and fillers are not listed in the governing code as preaualified, you must qualify the procedure by testing.

As far as AWS D1 codes for structural, any other. Its points will lead to trouble in my opinion.
