GTAW WPS for SS 304 - Reliance 84281

This welding procedure specification outlines the requirements for gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) of 304/304L type stainless steel. It specifies details such as the base and filler metals, joint design, welding positions, preheat and post weld heat treatment requirements, process parameters, and general notes. The WPS allows for manual GTAW of groove and fillet welds in all positions with multiple passes for groove welds using ER308L filler metal with a 2.4mm diameter. Preheating is required to a minimum of 10°C.
