This revision incorporates numerous changes to update the document for reduced lifecycle costs due to lessons learned, increased alignment to industry qualification requirements, problem resolutions, new materials (including more environmentally friendly brazing alloys), and advancements in technology. Of the hundreds of changes made, the more significant ones include:
(1) Addition of:
a. Pre-qualified NAVSEA Standard Welding Procedure
Specifications
b. Robotic welding
c. Aluminum friction stir welding and processing
d. Expanded cross qualification of HY/HSLA steels
e. Navy high strength titanium alloy
f. Expanded thickness ranges and increased dilution control for cladding and hardfacing qualification
g. Cadmium-free brazing alloys;
h. 6000 series aluminum alloys
i. Requirements for computer-controlled power supplies
j. Numerous S-1/P-101 and S-8/P-102 similar materials
k. Bi-metal transition area qualification
l. Limits for manual and semi-automatic process bead weaving (2) Increased periodicity for maintenance of welding and brazing performance qualification from 3 months to 6 months;
(3) Eliminated approval of Level II qualification data; (4) Reduced qualification testing for automatic/mechanized pipe welding; (5) Addition of an annual meeting of authorized representatives; (6) Updating of nonferrous welding performance cross qualification allowances.

FOREWORD

This document contains the requirements for the qualification of welding and brazing procedures, welders, welding operators, brazers, and brazing operators that must be met prior to any production fabrication. It includes manual, semiautomatic, automatic, mechanized, and robotic welding and brazing of ferrous, nonferrous, and dissimilar metals. The qualification tests required by this document are devised to demonstrate the adequacy of the welding or brazing procedures and to demonstrate the ability of welders, brazers, welding operators, and brazing operators to produce
