As far as I am aware, Section IX does not address these items.

Neither ASME IX or B31.3 address arc strikes or grinding marks. You would have to check your Engineering Design documents or consult with your Engineering Department.
Usually Arc strikes are never permitted. They can cause localized hardening.

If Arc Strike is limited to the weld it is ok
