Judgment criteria

Visual inspectionVisualGood bead appearance on surface/no undercut nor blow hole

Nondestructive examinationUTThere is no internal crack (high temperature crack and low temperature crack) on welded metal and HAZ part, impurity, nor discontinuity

Cutting inspectionArchitectural work standard specification1(i) Roughness on cut surface: refer to 4.2 
(ii) Cut deformation: refer to 4.3

Sectional tensile testKS B 08332Tensile strength will be above the specified value of base metal.

Side face bending testKS B 08324Cracked length on welded part when bent in 180° will be below the value required by KS B 0832.

Impact test (0, −5, −20°C)
 Heat affected part (HAZ)KS B 08103The value of welded metal will be above the specified value of base metal.
 Welded metal part (WM)3Target steel type Test temp. Criteria
 Weld metal part FL3SM490TMC0°C27 J or above
SM570TMC−5°C47 J or above

Macro/hardness test1There is no crack nor deficiency on welded metal part and HAZ part. Hardness on welded metal part and HAZ part will be above the value required by KS/architectural work standard specification.
