The document outlines requirements for weld overlay and cladding restoration projects including qualification of procedures and welders, production welding parameters, and repair requirements.

Welders must be qualified to ASME SEC IX and welding procedures must be approved prior to starting work. Direction of welding and chemistry requirements are specified. Single layer overlays require additional approval.

Welding must follow approved procedures and hold points established. Welding environment, cleaning, storage of consumables and preparation of joints are addressed.

A General Requirements

A complete package was approved by SA CSD prior to start of work which


SAES-W-010,
A1 includes the Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), Qualification Test
Section 7.1.1
Records (PQR), Weld Map & Weld Description Sheet (Attachment 1).

WPSs, PQRs, Weld Maps, & Weld Descriptions shall be available at work SAES-W-010,
A2
site for verification at any time by authorized SA inspector. Para. 7.1.8

Minimum deposit thickness is specified in engineering design SAES-W-014,


A3
Note: It shall not be less than 3 mm for corrosion-resistant overlays. Para. 4.2

Direction of overlay deposition shall be circumferential unless otherwise


approved by CSD. SAES-W-014,
A4
Note: Some components & geometry, such as small diameter nozzles, or Para. 4.3
special applications may not permit welding in a circumferential direction.

Weld deposit chemistry shall be specified in engineering design. Where a


nominal alloy designation for overlay or cladding is listed (e.g., 316L), then SAES-W-014,
A5
overlay deposit shall meet equivalent filler metal composition reqmts Para. 4.4
unless otherwise specified or exempted.

Cladding restoration portion of weld joints between clad matls or SAES-W-014,


A6
attaching clad materials to other matls shall meet reqmts for weld overlays Para. 4.5

Joint preparation & details for weld joints in clad vessels (incl weld
overlay) shall be per SASD AB-036367. See Attachment 2.
SAES-W-014,
A7 A) Sequence of welding & all notes are carefully
Para. 4.6
followed. B) Hold Points for Tests & Exams have
been established.

Repairs to integrally clad material shall not be done without the specific
SAES-W-014,
A8 approval of CSD. Any weld repairs to the cladding shall meet the
Para. 4.7
requirements for weld overlays.

Single layer overlays require prior approval by CSD. Additional SAES-W-014,


A9
qualification & production tests may be reqd, as determined by CSD. Para. 4.9

An approved overlay thickness measurement procedure, should be


SAES-W-014,
A10 reviewed and approved by inspection and available before start of the
Para. 6.3
work.

B Qualification of Welders for Weld Overlays

All welders & welding operators for weld overlays shall be qualified per
ASME SEC IX, per QW-380). SAES-W-014,
B1
Note: Standard groove weld quals, even with specified electrodes, are not Para. 4.10
acceptable.

C Production Welding

Production welding shall conform to the WPS, including all supplementary


SAES-W-014,
C1 essential variables and restrictions specified in this standard, such as heat
Para. 6.1
input restrictions , flux brand , and bead overlap (Also refer SAIC-W-2017)

Base metal shall be cleaned and this requires removal of the mill scale
SAES-W-014,
C2 and any adherent corrosion products. Caution: Repairs may require
Para. 6.2
special cleaning such as grit blasting or mechanical cleaning

Electrodes shall be properly stored and segregated in the store, shop, or


ovens to avoid mix-up. Separate ovens are required for different welding SAES-W-010,

D Weld Overlay to Clad/overlay weld joints

Overlay of the weld joint area shall be performed using a qualified overlay SAES-W-014,
D1 procedure and shall comply with all of the other overlay requirements in Para. 6.10
this checklist.

Base Metal cladding or Overlay shall be stripped back 10 mm from each SAES-W-014,
D2 side of weld joint prior to welding base metal portion of weld. Para. 6.10

Complete removal of the cladding/overlay shall be verified by a suitable SAES-W-014,


D3 etching test or chemical analysis of stripped back surface. Para. 6.10
Note: Suitable etchants incl nitric acid or nital.

Repairs to overlays shall be performed by removing the defect by


machining or grinding (thermal methods are not permitted). Removal of
SAES-W-014,
the overlay defect shall not reduce the base metal thickness below the
D4 Para. 6.8
minimum design thickness. The repair area shall be welded using an
approved overlay procedure with a nominal composition that shall match
the original overlay composition. (Use SAIC -W-2024)
