Change of Electrode
(OP)
Dear All,
As per ASME Section IX QW-404.33 Classification of electrode is essential. So guide my about following:
I have a PQR,
Process : SMAW
Material: SA-516 Gr 70
Electrode : E7018
Can i change this electrode E-6018????
Chemical analysis of E6018 also as per A-1
Note: Chemical analysis of E7018, 6018 and A-1 is attached here.

That is why I am confused.
ASME IIC 2004 SFA 5.1 has Discontinued Electrode Classifications as Table A4 (not Table A5) and E 6018 is noted in this table as discontinued (there are Notes a & b, no Note 1 or 2).
Cheers,
