F1554 Gr 55 S1 to A572 Gr 50

admin

Hi,I need to develop a WPS and PQR for F1554 Gr 55 S1 anchor bolts welded to A572 Gr 50 plate.  The bolt holes are thru drilled, with a fillet on the bottom of the plate, and a PJP groove weld on the top, 5/8" deep.  The F1554 is not a pre-qualified material, so I guess its on to Section 4 of D1.1.  To my knowledge, F1554 is not a listed material in Section 4, so all the testing is required.  Basically, my question is this.  In the above joint, how would I prepare a test coupon for tensile testing?Appreciate any input.
