Foreword

This document was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2020

"Directives for standardization - Part 1: Rules for the structure and drafting of

standardizing documents".

This document replaces GB/T 2651-2008 "Destructive tests on welds in metallic

materials -- Transverse tensile test". Compared with GB/T 2651-2008, in addition to

structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows:

a) Changed the description of "Scope" (see Chapter 1 of this Edition; Chapter 1 of

Edition 2008);

b) Deleted L0 (see Table 1 of Edition 2008). Added d0 and S0 (see Chapter 4 of this

Edition);

c) Changed "Principle" to "General principle". Added relevant requirements (see

Chapter 5 of this Edition; Chapter 3 of Edition 2008);

d) Changed the "small diameter" in the sampling position to D0 <= 50 mm (see 6.1 of

this Edition; 5.1 of Edition 2008);

e) Added relevant requirements for "Marking" (see 6.2 of this Edition);

f) Changed "Note" to the main text (see 6.3 of this Edition; 5.3 of Edition 2008);

g) Added "water jet cutting" (see 6.4.3 of this Edition);

h) Changed Figures 1 to 4 (see 6.5 of this Edition; 5.5 of Edition 2008);

i) Changed 51 and 52 in footnote a of Table 2 to 5. Added "resistance welding" (see

6.5.3.1 of this Edition; 5.5.3.1 of Edition 2008);

j) Changed "Lc+60 mm" to "Ls+60 mm", and "see Table 2" to "comply with the

requirements of footnote b of Table 2" (see 6.5.3.3 of this Edition; 5.5.3.3 of

Edition 2008);

k) Added the description of determining the original cross-sectional area S0 of the

specimen. Changed the description of the test steps (see Chapter 7 of this Edition;

Chapter 6 of Edition 2008);

l) Changed the content of "Test report" (see Chapter 9 of this Edition; Chapter 8 of

Edition 2008).

The modification of this document adopts ISO 4136:2022 " Destructive tests on welds

in metallic materials -- Transverse tensile test".

Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Transverse

tensile test

1 Scope

This document specifies the specimen preparation and test procedures for transverse

tensile test of welded butt joints, so as to determine their tensile strength and fracture

location.

This document applies to transverse tensile tests on all welded butt joints.

2 Normative references

The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this

document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,

the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

GB/T 228.1, Metallic materials -- Tensile testing -- Part 1: Method of test at room

temperature (GB/T 228.1-2021, ISO 6892-1:2019, MOD)

GB/T 228.2, Metallic materials -- Tensile testing -- Part 2: Method of test at elevated

temperature (GB/T 228.2-2015, ISO 6892-2:2011, MOD)

3 Terms and definitions

There are no terms or definitions that require definition in this document.

4 Symbols and instructions

The symbols used in the transverse tensile test and their corresponding descriptions are

shown in Table 1. These symbols are used in Figures 1 to 4.

specimen is processed, the weld axis is located in the middle of the parallel length of

the specimen.

For small diameter pipes, pipe section specimens may be used (see Figure 3). When no

provisions are made in the relevant application standards or agreements, "small

diameter" means D0 <= 50 mm.

6.2 Marks

Each test piece shall be marked so as to identify the exact position from which it is

removed from the finished product or joint.

If required by the relevant application standard, the direction of processing (e.g. rolling

or extrusion) of the parent material shall be marked.

Each specimen shall also be marked so that its exact location within the specimen can

be identified.

Each specimen shall be marked when it is removed from the test piece.

6.3 Heat treatment and/or aging

Welded joints or test specimens shall not be heat treated. However, the relevant

application standards stipulate or allow heat treatment of test welded joints, in which

case the heat treatment process parameters shall be recorded in detail in the test report.

If the aluminum alloy undergoes natural aging, the interval between welding and the

start of the test shall be recorded.

The presence of hydrogen in steel weld metal will have an adverse effect on the test

results. Appropriate methods must be adopted for dehydrogenation treatment.

6.4 Sampling

6.4.1 General requirements

The mechanical or thermal processing method used for sampling shall not have any

effect on the properties of the specimen.

6.4.2 Steel

When the thickness exceeds 8 mm, shearing shall not be used. When cutting specimens

from welded test plates or test pieces by thermal cutting or other cutting methods that

affect the properties of the cut surface, it shall be ensured that all cut surfaces are at

least 8 mm from the surface of the final parallel length of the specimen. For cuts parallel

to the original surface of the welded test plate or test piece, thermal cutting shall not be

used.
