OBJECTIVES
MET705.74 2
RECAP
Visual inspection :
• Visually examining the weld for surface defects
Nondestructive evaluation :
• Uses various methods that do not damage the specimen
Destructive testing :
• Methods in which the weld is destroyed during the test or
to prepare the specimen
MET705.74 3
Destructive testing of welds
• Destructive tests are used to measure mechanical
properties and evaluate weld quality that are vital to the
satisfactory performance of the welded joint in service.
MET705.74 4
Destructive testing of welds
Types of tests :
• Tensile test
• Bend test
• Impact test
• Nick break test
• Hardness test.

Destructive testing of welds
Tensile test :
MET705.74 6
Destructive testing of welds
Types of tensile tests :
All weld metal test :
• Axis of the test bar is parallel to the axis of the weld.
• Entire bar consists of deposited weld metal.

Tensile test (weld) specimens
MET705.74 8
Destructive testing of welds
Bend test:
• The Quality of the weld in terms of ductility of weld metal
and HAZ.
• Opening of defects particularly Lack of sidewall fusion,
root fusion and penetration of welded joint are checked.
Types of tests :
• Free bend test
• Guided bend test
• Controlled bend test

Destructive testing of welds
Impact test :
• The notch may be placed with its root in the weld, the
fusion boundary or the HAZ.
MET705.74 13
Destructive testing of welds
Nick break test :
MET705.74 14
Destructive testing of welds
Nick break test
Test procedure :
• A 20 mm wide strip is cut at right angle to the weld axis
• Make a saw cut down the centerline of the weld 3 to 6
mm deep.
• The specimen is then placed upright on two supports and
force is applied on the weld either by a press or
by a hammer until fracture occurs.
• Visual examination of fractured surfaces is carried out to
find defects.
