RE: [MW:22048] A-number as per ASME section IX.

Incorrect reply – ER70S-6 is NOT A-no.1

 

If you specify or use simply the ER70S-6 classification, the chemistry potentially lies outside the maximum values for both Manganese and Silicon.  Therefore you cannot state that it is A-No. 1.  You have two choices:  (1) specify that the filler metal you order/purchase must have a CMTR and that the chemistry is limited to a maximum of 1.6% Mn and 1.0% Si or (2) in lieu of A-No. you specify chemistry range, product name and type, or AWS/ASME Classification.

 

See the last paragraph of QW-404.5 as copied below.

 

"In lieu of an A-Number designation, the nominal chemical

composition of the weld deposit shall be indicated on

the WPS and on the PQR.  Designation of nominal chemical

composition may also be by reference to the AWS classification

except for the "G" suffix classification, the manufacturer's

trade designation, or other established

procurement documents."

 

Enjoy.

ER70S-6 is under A no 1 only. Why confusion ???

Dear John,

ER70S-6 cannot be classified as A-1.

Dear All,

 

Thanks for sharing information.

 

Please see the specified values for A-number and Filler wire chemistry.  My question if we have a filler wire having Manganese 1.8% and Silicon  1.15% which A-number can be assigned. If we qualified a procedure with a filler wire chemistry within the A-number 1 range, can we use that procedure for any carbon steel filler metal.within the range of specified values for ER 70S-2 or ER 70 S-6

A-No.     Weld DepositAnalysis, %   

                                          C               Cr     Mo         Ni               Mn                  Si

 

1          Mild Steel              0.20              -         -             -            1.60                  1.00

 

ER70S-6 (SFA 5.18)          0.06– 0.15     0.15    0.15      0.15         1.40 – 1.85        0.80 – 1.15

 

Please give expert opinion.

 

Thanks in advance.

Manoj.

When the chemical composition of a ferrous filler metal is not matching one of the A-Nos given in the table referenced in QW-404.5, then you have to make reference to the classification of that filler metal.
Then your essential variable is not the A-No any more, but this chemical composition.
Then your PQR is covering WPSs when, besides the other essential and supplementary essential  variables, the chemical composition of the filler metal is within the same range

Hi!
As per ASME sec IX
the A No is expected Weld chemistry range  and for filler metal F no is designated
Moreover for  CS welding, while selection of Filler ,you have to give importance to Mechanical properties and not exact matching of chemistry

Dear All,
I have one doubt.
In section IX A-number specified for mild steel
is 1 and when we see the chemistry of the filler metal in
section II part c the range specified is going beyond the
specified limit Si - 1% and Mn - 1.6% as per section IX.
 if a batch of carbon steel filler metal having Sil 1.03
and Mn. 1.6 % then in which A-number we can consider and
shall we qualified a new procedure for this particular batch
and which A-number we will assign.
Thanks in advance,Manoj.
