ISO 17642-2:2005

Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials — Cold cracking tests for weldments — Arc welding processes — Part 2: Self-restraint tests ISO 17642-2:2005

Publication date:   Mar 17, 2005

Scope

ISO 17642-2:2005 specifies the sizes of the test pieces, the specimens and the procedures for carrying out self-restraint cold cracking tests by:
CTS (controlled thermal severity) test Tekken (Y-groove) or Lehigh (U-groove) test
in order to obtain information about the cold cracking sensitivity during welding.
This International Standard applies primarily, but not exclusively, to C-Mn and low-alloy steels.
