3. In a certain PQR for SMAW, the electrodes used for all passes were of AWS classification (E7018).
Corresponding WPS also showed filler materials as E 7018. Now the manufacturer proposes to change
the filler material in WPS to E 701S. Will you ask manufacturer to:
4. A PQR in GTAW process was qualified with PWHT with A 516 grade 70 materials, ¾” thick. The
thickness for production welds is 1.0”, but without PWHT. The manufacturer claims that same PQR will
be O.K. What is your assessment?
5. For 515 grade 60 material, the following results were obtained for two tensile test specimen during a
PQR qualification.
7. A welder has made 25 SMAW groove welds, but the guided bend test for the welder's qualification was
never performed. In order to avoid cutting out all of the production welds made by this welder, which of
the following minimum steps would be taken to validate the qualification?
a. Radiograph the welder's first production weld and accept the qualification based on acceptable weld
quality by radiography.
b. There is no alternative to qualifying a welder by the guided bend test.
c. Have the welder prepare a test coupon and have the bend test done on that. If bend test is okay,
accept the welds already made.
