Can somebody help me define a fusion arc welding code, WBS 5018?

Looking to see if someone had additional details regarding WBS 5018 welding.

Appreciate the response.

Thanks.

WBS5018 is a Honeywell Aerospace client specific specification for GTAW welding.

See description below TIG Welding at the below link:

Thanks I didn’t realize it was customer specific.

I don’t have the spec but I see it comes up a bit.

Any major difference than AWS?

WBS 5018 is the Honeywell Aerospace fusion welding specification. It defines all the fabrication and quality requirements as well as the procedure qualification data for welding production parts to that specification when defined on drawings. It is for all fusion welding processes, not just GTAW. It does have differences in fabrication/procedure qualification requirements when compared to AWS D17.1, but is also very similar as well. You will have to obtain a copy of the spec to ensure you are performing your procedure quals correctly for the weld joints. Hope this helps.
