Weld hardness traverse
Weld hardness traverse
(OP)
Hi All,
I'm trying to find the appropriate ASTM standard for a weld hardness traverse (destructive, on the cross-section), preferably Vickers testing. It is to replace a reference in a spec I'm writing to the Australian standard AS 2205.6.1. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Does E384 contain any specifications on hardness traverses? I think ISO 9015-1 might be similar to what I'm looking for, but I would prefer an ASTM standard.
I can purchase the documents, I just don't want to do that if they are not going to give me what I need.
Thanks in advance,
Gem1

Why not try AWS Standards?

In the '70s there were problems with oil storage tank weld seams. CB&I developed a procedure using 30 HVN to traverse weld seams. It was used but I don't recall API developing a standard. I believe R. Bruscato will be the author if you search literature.
