AWS D1.5 FCM Handling Requirements

AWS D1.5 FCM Handling Requirements

AWS D1.5 FCM Handling Requirements

(OP)
I am looking for where the code states how fracture critical members shall be handled.  I have a situtation where a weldemnt that is a FCM has been handled with a chain and has left chain link 'divots' impressed in the material.  

Any direction on where handling requirements are spelled out in D1.5 would be appreciated.  Thanks.

RE: AWS D1.5 FCM Handling Requirements

Is it in the weld or base metal?

12.9- as recv'd inspection of base metal per ASTM A6
I don't know the spec off-hand for surface roughness.

12.17.6- '...Surfaces shall be ground when necessary to facilitate visual inspection and ndt.'

I'd treat it like an arc strike and flush grind it, followed by visual and MT

C 3.10 Arc strikes are removed by shallow grinding
C 3.8 peening allowable when approved
