AWS D1.2 Aluminium

This document outlines the requirements for aluminium welding procedure and welder qualification according to AWS D1.2. It specifies that the welding procedure specification must be prepared in conformance with section 3.12.2 and refers to various tables and figures that define essential variables, joint details, test requirements and acceptance criteria for procedure and welder qualification. Key variables that must be documented in the welding procedure specification include the material group number, filler metal type, thickness, diameter, cleaning method and number of weld layers. The document also describes the performance qualification process for welders and refers to tables specifying the positions qualified and number of tests required based on thickness.

AWS D1.

2 STRUCTURAL WELDING CODE


ALUMINIUM QUALIFICATION WPS&WPQ

1) Prepare WPS in conformance with 3.12.2

2) Refer AWS B2.1 XXXX-XX for SWPS

3) Refer Annexure E for Sample WPS & PQR

4) Refer Table 3.1 for essential variables for Procedure Qualification

5) Refer Table 3.2 for ‘M’ No. grouping of metals

6) Refer Table 3.3 for position Qualified - (Procedure Qualified in groove weld also
qualifies pipe over 24” dia)

7) Refer Table 3.4 (CJP) & 3.5 ( PJP) for No. of test specimen required and thickness
Qualified

8) Refer Table 4.1 for available Aluminum alloys

9) Refer Table 4.2 for filler wire Recommendations for various materials

10) Refer table 4.4 for Technique(like Maximum Single bead Weave Width)

11) Refer 3.16 for Retest

12) Refer 3.3.2 for acceptance criteria of Visual Examination

13) Refer AWS 5.10 for Filler Wires

14) Refer Annexure J for tungsten electrode ( or AWS 5.12)

15) Refer Fig. 3.3 for Groove Welds in Plates

16) Refer Fig. 3.4 for Groove Welds in

17) Tests

a) Visual Examination – Essential for WPS & WPQ

b) Tension – for WPS only

c) Bend Test for WPS & WPQ (except 3.5.3-RT can be used in conformance with
SEC. V part B & part D)

Important Variables in WPS

1) Group No. (M No.) of Base Material (table 3.2, D1.2 -4.2 ) 2) F-No. of Filler Metal
(D1.2 4.3) 3) Range of Pre.& Post heat Treatment

4) Thickness 5) Diameter 6) Method of Cleaning 7) No. of layers Welded

Performance Qualification
1) Qualify Welders in conformance with AWS D1.2 Part D

2) Refer 3.6.2 for Visual Examination

3) Refer 3.20,3.21 and 3.22 for essential variables

4) Refer Table 3.7 for Position Qualified

5) Refer Table 3.8 for No. of test required and thickness qualified for welder
qualification (test on groove weld also qualifies fillet of all thickness.)

6) Refer Table 3.9 for welder qualification essential variables

7) Refer Fig. 3.25,3.26 and 3.27 for joint Details
