    This document provides procedures for weld repairs using 7018 low hydrogen electrode welding. It specifies that vertical welding should be done from the bottom up. For cracked welds, it instructs to remove old welds and minimize base metal removal, with new welds sized to the thinner thickness. For cracks in base metal, it specifies grinding a V-groove at least 2/3 the depth. All surfaces must be cleaned of slag or oxidation before welding.

    PROCEDURE FOR WELD REPAIRS


    1. Welding method for repairs. Material: A-36 Plate

    A. 7018 low hydrogen electrode (stick welding) good tolerance for


    contamination.

    B. Note: MIG wire machine welders not recommended for it has no


    tolerance for contamination that may be present in a field repair
    situation.

    C. All vertical welding shall be done from the bottom up, never from
    the top down.

    2. Repair of cracked welds.

    A. Remove old welds by grinding or gouging (flame cutting).

    B. Minimize removal of the base metal.

    C. Size of the weld to be equal to the thinner thickness of the metal


    parts that are to be joined.

    3. Repair of a crack in the base metal.

    A. Grind a “V” groove into the cracked area to provide good weld
    penetration. Groove should be at least 2/3 depth of thickness of
    metal.

    4. Cleaning of areas to be welded.

    A. All surfaces to be welded must be clean and free of any flame


    cutting slag.

    B. Remove as much oxidation as possible if present.
