Summarize the criteria for visual inspection prior to preparation for bend testing.

What will be an ideal response?


The weld specimen must first pass visual inspection before it can be prepared for bend testing. Visual inspection looks to see that the weld is uniform in width and reinforcement. There should be no arc strikes on the plate other than those on the weld itself. The weld must be free of both incomplete fusion and cracks. The joint penetration must be either 100% or as specified by the specifications. The weld must be free of overlap and undercut must not exceed either 10% of the base metal or 1/32 in. (0.8 mm), whichever is less.
