I have welding procedure of 4130 base metal that was buttered with an A No. 1 filler metal before welding to a stainless steel plate. Can I use a buttering portion of this qualified procedure to perform a production weld repair on 4130 material?
 
Under ASME IX, no. You will need a groove weld procedure joining 4130 to itself.
