Lesson 10 - Reliability of Welding Filler Metals

© COPYRIGHT 2000 THE ESAB GROUP, INC. LESSON X 10.10.2.1 In order to have the proper tests performed correctly and as inexpensively as possible, the information that accompanies the order must contain all pertinent information such as: a. To what specification must the material conform and to what revision of that specification? b. Must all the tests as required by the specification be performed? c. Are there any actual tests required in addition to those covered by the specifica- tion? d. Do special marking and packing requirements apply? e. Is the material for a government contract? f. Where is inspection to be performed and by whom? g. What number of copies and distribution method is required for the certificates? 10.10.2.2 The American Welding Society publishes a document (AWS A5.01-93) entitled “Filler Metal Procurement Guidelines”. This document (together with an AWS Filler Metal Specification) is intended to assist the buyer in designating those testing requirements that are applicable to his order. It consists of the following: a. The AWS Filler Metal Classification. b. Definition of lot classification (AWS A5.01-93 Section 2). c. The intensity of testing schedule (i.e., number of tests to be conducted) (AWS A5.01-93 Section 3). 10.10.2.3 A portion of Table 1, “Intensity of Testing” that applies to actual testing reads as follows: Intensity of Testing Schedule H Chemical analysis only for each lot shipped. I Tests called for in Table 2 “Required Tests” for each lot shipped. J All tests that the classification called for in the pertinent AWS filler metal specifications for each lot shipped. K All tests specified by the purchaser, for each lot shipped.
