The simplest weldability tests are those that evaluate the strength and<br />

ductility of the weld. Tests that evaluate strength include weld tension tests,<br />

shear strength, and hardness. Ductility and fracture toughness tests include<br />

bend tests and impact tests. These tests evaluate the breaking strength,<br />

ductility and toughness of simple weld joints. These tests are the same as<br />

tests used for welding procedure and welder qualification to the ASME Boiler<br />

and Pressure Vessel Code. If the weldment has adequate strength and<br />

ductility, it is usually deemed acceptable for service.
