I have been instructed to use a WPS that indicates 1/2" fillet weld that has a base metal range from 3/4" to 2 1/2" in thickness that is A36 steel.  Using E7018 with a preheat of 150 degrees minimum and 550 maximum interpass. The WPS calls for a 30 minute soak time. Can some one explain this soak time as I am not familiar with it?  Thanks.

Dave.

That is a question that should be directed to the person that wrote the WPS.

Agree with Al.  Only commented to say 'INTERESTING'. 

Would like to hear the end result of that one.  I can picture a couple of different possibilities but would not want to misdirect the OP.
