Dear Vadival, You have to comply with the requirements of the design code, which in this case is ASME VIII Div 1. That determines the application requirements, not the material specification.

Yes you can use E 9018-B3, we have also used the same and the results are good. Make sure you do the proper preheating, maintain the interpass and also there is a posheat requirement for the P22 materials.
