Charpy testing on inlaid carbon steel material
Charpy testing on inlaid carbon steel material
(OP)
When charpy testing carbon steel weld inlaid with 5mm Inconel must the test specimen include the inlay or not according to BPVC section V?
Test temperature is -46°C.
RE: Charpy testing on inlaid carbon steel material
The notch toughness concern is the base metal (CS) heat affected zone (HAZ) at -46 deg C, not the Inconel. So, placement of the notch must be in the base metal HAZ.
