properties of the weld metal, the heat-affected zone, and the unaffected base metal. With such specimens itis more difficult t obtain reproducible data (when a difference exists in the properies ofthe metal inthe various parts of the specimen). Specimens taken from a joint do have the advantage of being able to duplicate the joint design and the welding sequence planned for fabrication. 8.1.2. Specimens for testing corrosion or oxidation resistance ofthe weld metal alone ae prepared by follow ing the procedure normally used forthe preparation of pads for chemical analysis (see 93 in AWS AS.LVAS.11M ‘The pa size should be at least % i. (19 mm] in height by 2% in. [65 mm] in width by (1 + 0.625 n in.) (25 + 16 m mn) in length where m represents the number of specimens required from the pad. Specimens measuring, Y% in. by 2 in. by % in.

(13 mm] dimension is parallel with the length ofthe pad The heat treatment, surce finish, and marking of the specimens prior to testing should be in accordance with Standard practices for test of similar alloys inthe wrought or cast forms. The testing procedures should correspond to ASTM G 4, Recommended Practice for Conducting lant Corrosion Tess ‘A8.2 (Test for Mechanical Properties.The filler metals in this specification are used with a varity of welding processes and procedures. Fortis reason, weld metal tests have not been included in the specification. The tensile properties, bend ductility, and soundness of welds peo ‘duced with these filler metals are determined duting quali- fication of the procedure Variables in the procedure (current, voltage, and welding speed), in the shielding medium (the specific gas mixture or the ux), inthe manual dexterity of the welder, and in the composition of the base metal and the filler meta al influence the results that can be obtained.
