RE: [MW:32737] Requalification of consumable after shelf life

Hi ,

Every welding consumable has a "shelf life". Please see the guidance from ESAB on typical shelf life of various SMAW electrodes & other FCAW products. Shelf life matters a lot , on how the consumables are manufactured and subsequently stored.

Sec-IX , would not provide any guidance on welding consumables.

If needed all weld metal testing may be performed as per ASME Sec-II, Part C.

 

Thanks.

Dear,

 

This is not possible and there is no direction on ASME section IX as it is solely part of the manufacturer, once shelf life finishes you can further use those electrodes.

Dear all,

 

Can we requalify welding consumables (electrode and wires) once the shelf life is over?

 

As ASME code gives any guideline to requalify the welding consumables.

 

Kindly provide your expert opinion on this.
