I have an existing vessel that was built SA-455-B material (heads and shells). Per ASME & MTRs the yield is 35,000 psi and the ultimate is 70,000 psi.
These yields are very close to the yield for more typical SA516-70 materials.
My question is as follows:
1.) What weld wire should be used for SA-455-B per ASME VIII, Div 1?
2.) Can we use the same ER70 that we would typically use for SA516-70?
Thank you.
