WPS Qualification with A 516 Gr60 & S355J2N

For general purpose, there is no problem to weld both these materials. (Eg: - For welder training or Equipment fabrication for personal usage).

However, there is some problem for preparing WPS for coded work.

The data you provided is only material of construction.. Could you provide following details,

1. This WPS for Pressure part welding OR Non pressure part welding OR Pressure part to Non pressure part welding?

2. Construction Code?

3. Welding Code?

Appreciate your feed back
