Under prequalified joints, which processes are listed as using spray transfer when prequalification applies?

• A. SMAW (spray transfer) and GMAW (spray transfer)
• B. SMAW (spray transfer) and FCAW (spray transfer)
• C. MCAW (spray transfer) and GMAW (spray transfer)
• D. GMAW (spray transfer) and FCAW (spray transfer)

Answer: (B)

Under prequalified joints, you can use certain welding processes with spray transfer without going through full procedure qualification, as long as the conditions match what’s listed. The spray-transfer option that is permitted under those prequalified conditions includes two processes: SMAW and FCAW. This is why the correct pairing points to SMAW (spray transfer) and FCAW (spray transfer). The other choices don’t fit because GMAW spray transfer isn’t listed in the prequalified spray-transfer options, and MCAW isn’t a standard process name in this context. So the only combination that matches the prequalified spray-transfer listing is SMAW and FCAW.
