Thank you for your reply. Would it be more appropriate to choose a moderately skilled welder( (with or without a welding qualification certificate) to weld the WPS test assembly?
Best regards
Do test piece for Welding Process Qualification testing need to be carried out by qualified welders? Is it allowed that test piece weled by unqualified welders? Thank you.
It was noticed a post on the forum in 2006 about the 200 series austenitic steel, unfortunately I am unable to reply at this time. Eighteen years have passed, and it is unclear to what extent the 200 series austenitic stainless steel has been applied. Recently, there have been applications for...

Thank you, the key is how to distinguish the definitions and explanations of the latter two， “attached to the castings” and “cast integrally on the castings”.
Post-weld heat treatment may result in a reduced strength of the welded joint（Including base metal, heat affected zone, and welding consumables ）.
Even for some high-strength steels such as ASTM A517, the impact energy of welding consumables will decrease after post weld heat treatment.
What is...

One point of view is that the corrosion performance of the aluminum alloys plates in O temper, H111 temper and H112 temper is very good, and the exfoliation corrosion test and intergranular corrosion test are not required. Another argument is that the aluminum alloys plates in O temper, H111...
In EN 13195,it is specified that aluminum alloys supplied in the H116 or H321 temper in the form of sheet, strip and plate shall be subjected to exfoliation corrosion test and intergranular corrosion test. For H112 aluminum alloys supplied in the Otemper H111temper H112 temper, no corrosion test...
