Code wise you can (as long as you qualify it correctly and have engineered it correctly), but it requires a specific welder skill set that is unusual. The question is, why would you want to?

If the governing welding standard is AWS D1.1/D1.1M, E7015, 7016, 7018, or 7028 are all considered to be matching filler metals for ASTM A572 Gr 50.

If you are using a base metal that is not listed by Table 3.1 (found in D1.1), the WPS must be qualified by testing in accordance with Clause 4 parts A and B unless the Engineer/Owner authorizes the inclusion of the unlisted base metal as prequalified.

Best regards - Al
