GUIDE

ASME Section IX, QW-250: Filler metal categories, F-No. and A-No. are essential variables. Any electrode diameter sizes can be used in WPS, as it is not an essential variable for the most process and conditions. For Non-impacted test applications only, filler metal classification within an SFA specification with the same F-No. and the same A-No. and the same minimum tensile strength and the same nominal chemical composition can be used with the same WPS.
