In accordance to QW-420.1 of ASME IX, to reduce the numbers of welding and brazing
procedure qualification required, base metals have been assigned P-Numbers, and for
ferrous base metals which have specified impact test requirements, Group Numbers
within P-Numbers. These assignments are based essentially on comparable base metal
characteristics, such as composition, weldability, brazeability and mechanical properties,
where this can logically be done. These assignments do not imply that base metal maybe
indiscriminately substituted for a base metal which was used in the qualification test
without consideration of compatability from the stand point of metallurgical properties,
and service requirements. Where notch-toughness is a consideration, it is presupposed
that the base metals meet the specific requirements.
The P-Numbers of each specific materials are listed in QW/QB-422 of ASME IX.
