Welder Qualification ASME lX using different weld process
(OP)
Can you use a WPS for GTAW root-ER70S2 and fill and cap SMAW with E7018 on P1 to P1 base metal for a new welder qualification of a GTAW-ER70S2 all the way out.

Refer to QW-451 for you 'procedure' qualified thicknesses (base metal and weld metal).

In other words, if your root deposit was 1/4" on your WPS, then your welders could qualify to 1/2" weld metal thickness. Now use QW-452.1(b).

1 GTAW and 1 SMAW to the appropriate thicknesses that way you are home free without conflicts. it pays to do it right
