[MW:25348] Machining allowed in Butt weld pressure joint?

Dear Experts!!

I am from a Valve industry. I am doing fabrication of a valve. After butt welding of two plates, can I carry out skin machining till the plate surface, so that welding is not seen..

I follow ASME Sec.IX for welding qualification.

What are the factors i am supposed to consider.

Thanks and regards

Vadivel. M
