ASME Filler Metal
ASME Filler Metal
(OP)
I posted this some time ago and just wanted to see if there was any new input. I have also found out that the some of the test fixture parameters have changed.
Thanks
In the Summer 1979 Addeda to the 1977 ASME Code Edition the Mn requirement for E7018 filler metal was changed from 1.25% to 1.60% max. My question is, has there been any code cases issued to allow the use of the newer filler metal to be used on code work prior to the change. The major filler metal manufacturer we work with will not make this filler metal to the older requirement.

RE: ASME Filler Metal
It has been a while since I worked on the nuclear side of the business. My question to you is why can't you use the more recent filler metal composition, provided there is no change in mechanical properties and it is the same F-No and A-No as in the past?

Thanks for your response.
