welding operator performance test for hard facing
(OP)
For machine welding operator qualification test on hard facing, does it have to be with the hard facing procedure per QW-453?
Are operators qualified from groove weld procedure (since P and F number are not essential variables for machine welding) qualified for hard facing?
Thanks for the input and help.

Hard facing is no - corrosion resistant overlay is maybe
QW-381.3 Alternative Qualification With Groove
Weld Tests. When a chemical composition is not specified
in the WPS, welders or welding operators who successfully
complete a groove weld performance qualification
test meeting the corrosion‐resistant overlay bend test requirements
of QW-163 may be considered qualified for
corrosion‐resistant overlay welding within the ranges defined
in QW-350 or QW-360.
