Interpretation Number: BPV IX-17-07

Question(s) and Reply(ies): Background (A): A PQR was based on A-No. 8 corrosion resistant overlay onto a P-No.
1 material. Impact toughness was required and the test coupon received PWHT at 620°C
for 4 hours.

Question (1): Does the PQR described in Background (A) support a WPS for depositing
an A-No. 8 corrosion resistance overlay onto P-No. 1 material, with impact
requirements, that receive PWHT at 620°C for 20 hours?

Reply (1): Yes.

Question (2): Does the PQR described in Background (A) support a WPS for depositing
an A-No. 8 corrosion resistance overlay onto P-No. 1 material, with impact
requirements, that receive PWHT at 620°C for 5 hours?

Reply (2): Yes.

Background (B): A PQR was based on nickel alloy filler metal (F-No. 41 through F-No.
46) corrosion resistant overlay onto a P-No. 1 material. Impact toughness was required
and the test coupon received PWHT at 620°C for 4 hours.

Question (3): Does the PQR described in Background (B) support a WPS for depositing
a nickel alloy filler metal (F-No. 41 through F-No. 46) corrosion resistance overlay onto
P-No. 1 material, with impact requirements, that receive PWHT at 620°C for 3 hours?

Reply (3): Yes.

Question (4): Does the PQR described in Background (B) support a WPS for depositing
a nickel alloy filler metal (F-No. 41 to F-No. 46) corrosion resistance overlay onto P-No.
1 material, with impact requirements, that receive PWHT at 620°C for 5 hours?

Reply (4): Yes.
