There is insufficient information given to determine whether the substitution would be permissible or not. The proposed substitution may be permitted provided the following questions can be answered satisfactorily:
· Is the original flux wire combination classified as per Section II Part C?
· Is the original flux; i.e. same brand and type, to be used with only a change in wire?
· Is the original flux classified with the EL8 wire as per Section II Part C?
· Is the strength designator of the classifications the same for both flux-wire classifications?
If the answer to all the forgoing is an unqualified YES then the substitution may be made per QW-404.9 and QW-404.5.
I would recommend that care be taken be taken in making such a substitution, but it is possible per Section IX.

Hi Kiran,
For SAW the wire flux classification is important than filler metal alone. Sec-IX,QW-404.9 addresses this issue.
A change from EH14 (1.8% Mn) to EL8( less than 1% Mn) would cause significant reduction in weld metal mechanical properties.
Hence this change may not be allowed unless a new PQR is qualified.
Thanks.
