Just looking for a more clear explanation than what i'm getting from the Auditors. I have only been with this company for a short time as the welding supervisor. During our last Audit we were told that every wps we have (and they have been using these for the last 25 years) must be changed...
OK gentlemen and welders :) I am being told that under ASME sec IX if a welder Certifies under GMAW he is automatically qualified for FCAW using the same WPS I can't find anything under section IX that leads me to believe this. If you have an answer could you please reference code and sec.
I am reviewing a WPS for GMAW. The weld progression is listed as "up". Are not Short circuit (which cannot be used on this job) and pulse the only GMAW methods that can be used out of position?
