About arc welding process:

SMAW, GMAW, MCAW, GTAW, FCAW and SAW welding process are the major arc welding processes:

-Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) or Stick welding; electrode is being used for SMAW welding process

-Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW); gas-shielded flux cored wire (FCAW-G) or self-shielded flux cored wire (FCAW-S) is being used for FCAW welding process

-Submerged Arc Welding (SAW); solid wire is being used for SAW welding process

-Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) or MIG welding; solid wire is being used for MIG welding process

-Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) or TIG welding; rod or solid wire is being used for TIG welding process

-Metal Cored Arc Welding (MCAW); metal cored wire is being used for MCAW welding process

Mode of process application for all the major arc welding process:

(a) Manual welding:

Welding wherein the entire welding operation is performed and controlled by hand.

(b) Semi-automatic welding:

Welding with equipment that supplies continuous wire feed with or without means for mechanical travel. Manual manipulation by the welder of one or more of the variables of speed of travel, guidance, and direction of wire is involved during the welding operation.

(c) Machine welding:

Welding with equipment that performs the welding operation under the constant observation and control of a welding operator.

(d) Automatic welding:

Welding with equipment that performs the welding operation without adjustment of the controls by welding operator.

About Welding Procedure Specification (WPS for the CSA code):

Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) is a general document that outlines shop and field welding practice and limitations for a welding process. Welding parameters and ranges are specified and used to prepare an associated Welding Procedure Data Sheet (WPDS).

Members have also access to hands-on Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS's), that prepared by the code experts, for the CSA W59/CSA W47.1 Standards, AWS D1.1, AWS D1.3 and AWS D1.6 welding codes.

About Welding Procedure Data Sheet (WPDS):

Welding Procedure Data Sheet (WPDS) is a document, used in conjunction with a Welding Procedure Specification (WPS), detailing the welding parameters and ranges for welding a specific joint, over a range of thicknesses and weld sizes, as illustrated on the data sheet.

About prequalified Welding Procedure Data Sheet (pWPDS):

Prequalified welding procedure data sheet includes a weld joint specified in a governing code that does not require validation of welding parameters through the performance of a procedure qualification test. So, a prequalified WPDS does not need a supporting Procedure Qualification test Record (PQR).

Governing codes that designate prequalified weld joints are only the CSA W59 Standard, the AWS D1.1, AWS D1.3, and AWS D1.6 Code.
