Re: [MW:32738] Requalification of consumable after shelf life

Just for info.

That is why Inventory control is very critical in Fabrication industry. You need to estimate the correct quantity and procure them. Moreover you quantify the welding consumable as stock items and critical items. Special consumable come under critical items and normal moving used items like carbon steel come under stock items.

If consumable after shelf life is small quantity then you can use it for welder training purpose else if it is a Large quantity then better to contact welding consumable manufacturer.

Normally we do not use welding consumables beyond the Shelf life as recommended by welding consumable manufacturer. I have physically seen Flux coating peeling off from the electrode. It is better to contact the welding consumable manufacturer and if they recommend better to do consumable testing as per ASME Sec.IIC at the manufacturer's premises.

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.
