Welding rebar to structural steel
Welding rebar to structural steel
(OP)
I originally posted this in the welding forum, but haven't received any responses. I hope this forum is more "well traveled."
When welding a #10 Grade 60 rebar to an A36 structural steel embed plate, which AWS certification is appropriate?
There has been contradictory opinion that it is either AWS D1.1 or AWS D1.4, heat the bar/don't heat the bar, use special filler metals/special fillers aren't required.
Help is appreciated, additional backup info will be provided as requested.

With advice like that, suggest you cut your pay.

Section 6 of D1.4 deals with qualification.
For WPS review D1.4 Sec 6.2
For welder qualification refer to D1.4 Section 6.3.
For preheat refer to D1.1 table 3.2 for the A36 and D1.4 table 5.2 for the rebar. The higher preheat governs
For filler metal selection refer to D1.1 Table 3.1 for the A36 plate and D1.4 Table 5.1 for the rebar. Lower strength low-hi electrode governs
