GTAW WPS
(OP)
I am somewhat confused on writing a WPS for GTAW Stainless 304, this is prequalified right? I am a new CWI and writing my first WPS. Any help or advice would be appreciated,

RE: GTAW WPS
GTAW is not pre-qualified (refer Clause 3.2)
It is an approved process (refer Clause 3.2.2) but requires qualification tests in accordance with Section 4,

RE: GTAW WPS
If the welding standard is D1.6, and if the conditions of prequalification are met, it can be prequalified.
As a CWI, you are not expected to develop WPSs as per Table 1 in AWS B5.1. It would appear you are reaching beyond scope of what a CWI is expected to do.
