Fabrication weldability tests that incorporate welding into their execution can<br />

be broadly classified as (1) restraint cracking tests, (2) lamellar tearing tests,<br />

(3) externally loaded cracking tests, (4) underbead cracking tests or (5)<br />

simple weld metal soundness tests.<br />

Some of these tests can be used to detect the susceptibility to more than one<br />

type of defect, while others are intended as single purpose tests and still<br />

others may be go/no-go types of tests.
