Does anyone know of anything within ASME Sec. IX (2007) or past code interpretations regarding hot-wire TIG welding?

Thanks

Chris
 
Why do you ask? We have used hot wire GTAW for ASME applications.
 
We have never done a Sec. IX hot-wire GTAW WPS before, that's why I'm asking. Since the WPS's will have impact testing, I'm assuming that the hot-wire heat input contribution must be accounted for, no?
 
Yes. Review QW-256 in ASME Section IX.
