Api 578 Questions-03

An alloy weld overlay applied to carbon steel could cause cracking due to differential expansion rates. When PMI testing finds an alloy outside specifications, the component can still be used if accepted by the owner following an assessment. When incorrect material is found in a PMI sample, a more extensive inspection of the lot should be considered. A color code system for marking materials is specified in ASME B31.3. Identification by color coding is important but not a substitute for permanent markings and should not be done by inspectors only. Marking pens should not contain sulfur. When testing dissimilar metal welds, the minimum weld composition should at least equal the base metal with the highest alloy content. If alloy elements are in a
