[MW:12540] REF- AWS D1.1 - Two process in one test coupon

By Materials & Welding
Good Day to Experts,
 
With reference to attached prequalified complete joint penetration , I used this configuration to qualify SMAW & SAW process, Ist welded by SMAW one side completely then backgouged 2 nd side welded with SAW . ( Weld metal SMAW app 30 mm thk + SAW 25 mm Thk),I comply with AWS D1.1, Base metal Thickness 55.0 mm
 
Accoring to D1.1 PQR qualified weld metal thickness is greater than 25 mm is qualified to weld unlimited thickness in production weld, My Questions
 
1) May I use only one process to complte the production weld ie I wish to use SMAW/ SAW  only to weld unlimited thickness ( ASME Sec IX permits only one process / combination of process), But AWS D1.1 I can't find such information, Any one can explain / indicates the information avilable in AWS code.
 
2) Can I use this one PQR to Prepare 2 WPS , For Example
     SMAW -Root + Filling + Capping
     SMAW root + SAW Filling & capping
    
Thanks
Regards
E.Jegan

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

By Materials & Welding
Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change.   Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
