encountered one question, may anyone help me out?
PQR:
base metal: 10mm,
Weld metal :GTAW(4mm)+SMAW(6mm),
2 tension test+4 guided bend test(2 face bend and 2 root bend).
one team leader think the guided bend test is not enough, the test should be based on welding process, so only side bend test can be applied for such condition.
question: where can i find such requirement? if thinner plate used(eg.8mm) for combine welding(GTAW+SMAW), combined PQR not applicable?
