Hi all,
Cladding (Inco 625 - inlay) was performed on component( AISI 4130 material) inside drilling equipment. Due inaccessibility, vendor is not able to UT on it as required by API 6A and client specs.; however, they could perform dye penetrant test only.
The used welding procedures were qualified to ASME IX and vendor is justifying that as per ASME IX, for cladding, UT is not required and only dye penetrant is quite enough.
Then, what all tests are required to qualify WPS for welding with cladding as per ASME IX ?
Regards
