ASTM E190 Guided Bend Test for Ductility of Welds
ASTM E190 test method determines soundness and ductility of welds in ferrous and non-ferrous products by Guided Bend Test. The Guided Bend is used to evaluate the ductility of welds by checking their ability to resist cracking during bending in the end use conditions.
Scope:
The ASTM E190 Guided Bend Test is a quality control procedure that determines the ductility of welds in ferrous and non-ferrous materials at the face and root of a welded junction. The ASTM E190 test is used to see if the weldment under test has any discontinuities, such as cracks, lack of fusion, insufficient penetration, or significant porosity. The guided bend test is a simple and cost-effective way to determine whether a groove weld is workable.
Test Procedure:
For ASTM E190, the specimen is bent in a U-shaped die by means of a centrally applied force to the weldment in a flat specimen supported at two positions, equidistant from the line of force application. In the ASTM E190 test method, the specimen is forced into the die by a plunger having the shape necessary to produce the desired contour. Then, the convex surface of the bent specimen is examined for cracks or other open defects.
Specimen size:
Solid rectangular test specimens machined from plates and pipes are required for the ASTM E190 Guided Bend Test.
Side-Bend Specimen for Ferrous and Non-Ferrous material : Cut the specimen into approximately equal strips between ¾ and 1 ½ inch (19 and 38 mm) wide for plates over 1 ½ inch (38 mm) thick.
Data:
Size of cracks is reported in Inch-pound and is considered as standard as a result of ASTM E190 test.
The allowable crack size is specified by the code or specification requiring the test if the test is conducted as an acceptance criterion.
The size and location of all cracks visible to the unaided eye are reported if the test is conducted for informational purposes.
Conclusion:
ASTM E190 test method determines soundness and ductility of welds in ferrous and non-ferrous products by Guided Bend Test.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
