No doubt, the tensile sample that is pulled could have next to no 6010 left. And any that was there would be diluted with the 70ksi base metal and 7018 anyways. I was told this morning by our regulatory authority that the upcoming Sect IX and VIII editions are going to address this very issue...

Neither of the Sect VIII paragraphs you mentioned talk about strength of filler metal, they talk only of a reduction of allowable stress based off the vessel material. Besides, the 6010 would not be used in fillet welds on any nozzle reinforcement, only on the full penetration welds of the...

Excuse me if this has been discussed before, but my searching was unsuccessfull. When welding a pressure vessel (assume 516-70 plate, ASME VIII Div 1), is it acceptable to use a weld procedure that was qualified with E6010 root, and E7018 fill and cap? My dilemna is some companies want the...

jproj, my question would be why do you care if it was stamped with design pressure vs MAWP? If the stamped design pressure is sufficient for operating pressure and temperature, the lower stamped pressure is a positive. When your inspectors calculate the required thickness for remaining life...
