Application code :ASME I, ASME II, ASME VIII, ANSI/ASME B31.1,

ASME IX, AWS D1.1
A : ASME (American Society Machanical Engineer )
W : AWS ( American Welding Socieity )
K : KEPIC ( Korea Electric Power Industry Code )`

Base metal (P no) :

- Example of joining 2 base metal (GROOVE or fillet , tag)
0303 : joining by P3 material on P3 material
- Example of build up , buttering and cladding welding for 1 base metal
0343 : build up by F43 inconnel electrodes on P3 material
This is distinguished by welding process :
- M (SMAW) : Shield Metal Arc Welding
- F (FCAW) : Flux Core Arc Welding
- G (GMAW) : Gas Metal Arc Welding
- T (GTAW)
: Gas Tungsten Arc Welding
- A (SAW,SAC) : Submerged Arc Welding (Automative)
- MA (welding process at the SMAW + SAW,SAC) : use 2 same time
- TM ( GTAW + SMAW)

Ex )

- What is A- TM-4343-101 (GROOVE) ?

- What is K-M-0308-102 (cladding) ?

Metal transfer mode GMAW/FCAW

Short arc Globular arc Spray arc

Pulsed arc

GTAW : EWth-2 ,OD 2.4

EWth-2 :thorium 2% tungsten electrode (red)
EWP : pure tungsten electrode (green)
EWZr : Zicronium Tungsten electrode (brown)
Flux Type (SAW process) :
Neutral type :do not change the composition of
weld metal as produced by fusion together of
base metal & electrode .They contain a little Mn
, Si for multiple passes on thick plates .

Active type :help eliminating porosity and weld

cracking (Mn ,Si) it uses for single passes .
