These fields availability will depend on the process and other values set for the WPS.

Filler Metal

Minimum/Maximum weld 't': The weld thickness range is for each process (little "t") is generated during the creation of the WPS. This is distinct from the Base Metal thickness (big "T").The program will allow an alternate range to be entered providing it does not exceed that which was automatically created. If code assistance is turned off or warnings ignored, the entered values may exceed the range.  

...

Flux from recrushed slag: For SAW processes, indicate whether or not the flux was from recrushed slag.

Position/Gas

Position (QW-405)

Welding Position: The relationship between the weld pool, joint, joint members, and weld heat source during welding. Select the position used when qualifying the weld.

...

Notes: Enter additional notes about the position.

Gas (QW-408)

Gas & Flow rate: Enter the shielding gas, backing gas, trailing gas, and their appropriate flow rates in the respective fields. The gas can also be selected from the drop-down menu. PAW processes will also have fields for plasma gas; PAW hardface and overlay processes will have additional fields for powder feed gas. OFW processes will also have fields for fuel gas.

Weld Details

Layers or Passes: Indicate the pass or layer numbers.

...

Note: the order of weld details can be set via the "Move to Top" button.

Technique

Technique (QW-410)

Peening: The mechanical working of metals using impact blows.

...

Electrode Spacing: For machine and automatic processes, enter the spacing of the electrodes.

Electrical/Notes

Electrical (QW-409)

Current/polarity: Current may be alternating or direct (AC/DC), while the polarity may be straight (electrode negative) or reverse (electrode positive).

...

Pulsed current: For GTAW processes, enter the current for the pulse of the arc.
