Hello Friends
We have a specification that calls for a BOND STRENGTH in cladded (2-14 Cr + SS347) plate. The clause states that the "Stainless Steel Bond Strength shall be at the upper yield strength at the low end, and approaching the UTS at the high end"
Now i am feeling confused, since as per SA264, bond strength is a bend test / while shear bond strength is an objective loading test, but tha value as per SA264 is 140 MPa.
shall i consider the above stated clause as the range of shear strength test only, and while most SS plates have min. specified yield strength as one min. value, and not a range, in that case again the clause seem difficult to be interpreted.
any help/clarity will be appreciated.
