Impact test
(OP)
Hi
my question is about welding procedure that is combination of GTAW and SMAW . WPS requires impact test.according to B 31.3 states “impact specimens shall be made for each welding procedure, type of electrode, or filler metal (i.e., AWS E-XXXX classification) and each flux to be used.” do we have to do impact test for GTAW welded portion and SMAW portion or only one set impact test for sample?
thanks

Basically, a single set of impact specimens may be used to qualify multiple processes provided each process is represented in the test.
Obviously this is intended for combination procedures on thin materials.

The potential for abuse is there, if process A (poor Cv properties) is tested together with process B (good Cv), but then a WPS is generated based only on process A and used in a Cv application.
