Topic: "Procuring Weld Metal - How to get what YOU want !"

Procurement of standard or commodity type welding consumables is rather straightforward.  However, when weld metal toughness, properties after post weld heat treatment, specified ferrite criteria, hardness, high temperature creep resistance or other out-of-the-ordinary requirements are needed, communication between the purchaser and supplier becomes critical.  In cases where the lowest bid rules, sole-sourcing is difficult, test results or testing is uncertain, or little influence on purchasing exists, inadequate products may be procured.  Such situations can be remedied. Understanding testing criteria and examples for properly procuring weld filler metal will be discussed.
