Does the software provide prequalified welding procedure specification for GTAW (TIG) process?
The AWS D1.6 Structural Steel Code-Stainless Steel, and the AWS D1.3, Structural Steel Code-Sheet Steel, allow using GTAW (TIG), as prequalified process, but not the AWS D1.1 Structural Steel Code-Steel. However, the software helps members to create procedures for any process, including prequalified TIG or non-prequalified TIG process. Database of Sketches library of the software, includes over 500 codes’ related weld joints, including all prequalified weld joints for TIG process of AWS D1.6 code [Figure 3.5 (CJP) and Figure 3.4 (PJP)], and AWS D1.3 code (Figures on Section 3). Complete Joint Penetration (CJP) Groove Weld; Partial Joint Penetration (PJP) Groove Weld The main reason that WPSAmerica.com doesn’t provide instant prequalified procedure for TIG process is because that industry tend to use other low cost and faster process (GMAW, FCAW, SMAW, SAW) for structural steel applications. Note: TIG process requires higher skilled welder, and mainly used for quality welding of the ASM
