Destructive Testing
This test is used to measure the strength of a welded joint
A compression test determines behavior of materials under crushing loads. The specimen is compressed and deformation at various loads is recorded
This test is used to determine the soundness of a weld.
The free bend test is to measure the ductility of the weld metal deposited in a weld joint
The quality of the weld metal at the face and root of the welded joint, as well as the degree of penetration and fusion to the base metal, are determined by means of guided bend tests.
This test determines the hardness by measuring the depth of penetration of an indenter under a large load compared to the penetration made by a preload.
is a standardized high strain-rate test which determines the amount of energy absorbed by a material during fracture.
