JOMINY TEST
Aim:
-To determine the harden ability of test piece by Jominy test.
-The jominy test is covered by BS 4437: 1987.
Apparatus:
- MS round bar 2inch dia. x 4 inch long.
Equipment:
1. Furnace
2. water jet
3. Rockwell hardness testing machine
4. Fixture
5. Thermo stick
Hardness Testing Theory:-y
Hardness tests measure the resistance to penetration of the surface of a material bya hard object. The
y Depth of penetration is measured by the testing machine and converted to a
hardness number. C-Scale
y Rockwell Hardness (HRC) numbers can be converted to Brinell Hardness (HB)
numbers and then used to
y Approximate the tensile strength in steels.
Procedure:
y Preheat the oven to 1500°F (816°C).
y Check that the Jominy Test Set-Up tank is full of room-temperature water.
y Adjust the water spout height on the Jominy Test Set-Up to 2 and 1/2 inches above
the final resting
Position of the Test-Bar bottom when placed in the specimen fixture.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/paresh-jadav-23 5/46
y Properly place the specimen fixture directly over the water spout of the Jominy
Test Set-Up with the
y Fixture center placed directly above the water spout center. Practice rapidly
placing a cool sample into
y The fixture before proceeding.
y Remove the Jominy Sample from the oven with the oven tongs and place it in the
Jominy Fixture as
y Quickly as possible.
y Let the Test Bar cool to room temperature (approximately 20 to 30 minutes) then
turn off the water.
y Each group of 2-3 students must check out the lab session¶s Jominy Test Bar from
the lab instructor
y And grind a flat onto the curved surface of the lab session¶s Jominy Test Bar. All
Scale (oxide) on the
y Flat should be removed such that a shinny, smooth flat results. Try to remove the
minimal amount of
y Material to obtain a shinny flat!
y Using a pencil, clearly mark the positions along the bar on the ground flat at the
distances from the
y Test Bar End as indicated on the blank Jominy End-Quench Data Sheet.
y Take a single set of Rockwell C hardness measurements along the bar on the
ground flat at the
y Distances marked in Step 8; record the values on the data sheet.
y Return the Jominy Test Bar to the lab instructor
Harden ability: Jominy End-Quench Testy Harden ability refers to the relative ability of a steel to be hardened by the
formation of martensite. The
y curves shown in Figure 3 are Harden ability Curves produced from Jominy End
Quench Tests where water is
y Sprayed on the end of a heated steel bar. Note the following:
y the 5140 steel is only hard near the quenched end (low harden ability)y the 4340 steel is relatively hard all along the bar (high harden ability

Definition of Hot Crack
³Hot cracks are intercrytsalline micro-cracks formed at high temperature in the
immediate vicinity of the fusion line as the molten weld metal is solidifying´
How the Hot Crack produce?
y Hot cracks occur when the weld metal contains low-melting non-metallic
inclusion.
y The welding heat produces thin films of liquid on the austenitic grain boundaries
in the heat affect zone, derived from the low melting portion of the non metallic
inclusion.
y As the weld cools, the austenite grains undergo plastic deformation as a result of
growing tensile stress.
y The film low-melting non metallic inclusion is unable to absorb the deformation,
resulting in what is known as Hot Cracking
Remedies of Hot Crack
Hot cracking can be minimized by
y Using standard weld able steels
y Ensuring that the weld metal gives Mn/s ratio of over 14
y Reduce the temparture

IMPACT TEST
Aim:
y To determine the behavior of welds, when subjected to high rates of loading,usually in bending.
y The purpose of impact testing is to determine the amount of impact a specimen
will absorb before fracturing.
Figure:
Test Procedure:
y The swinging pendulum weight is raised to standard height depending upon the
type of specimen to be tested.
y With reference to the vise holding the specimen, the higher the pendulum, the more
potential energy it has got.
y As the pendulum is released its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy
until it strikes the specimen.
y The charpy specimen is hit behind the v notch while the izod specimen, placed
with the v notch facing the pendulum, will be hit above the v notch.
y A portion of the energy possessed by the pendulum is used to rupture the specimen
and the pendulum rises on the other side of the impact testing machine.
y He energy consumed in breaking the specimen is the weight of the pendulum times
the difference in two heights of pendulum on either side of the machine.
y This energy is foot-pounds or meter-kg is the notched impact strength and can be
read from the dial of the impact testing machine.

BASIC TERMINOLOGY
Toughness:
y Toughness is the ability of the material to absorb energy during plastic
deformation up to fracture.
Plasticity:
y Plasticity is that property of material by virtue of which it may be
permanently deformed when it exceed the elastic limit. has been
subjected to an externally applied force great enough to exceed the
elastic limit.
Tensile Strength:
y In a tensile test the ratio of the maximum load to original cross section
area is called tensile strength.
Yield Strength:
y When metals are subjected to a tensile force they stretch or elongate asthe stress increases. The point where the stretch suddenly increases is
known as the yield strength of material.
Page 27
8/7/2019 PARESH JADAV 23
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/paresh-jadav-23 27/46
Elasticity:
y All solid materials can be deformed when subjected to external load. It is
further found that up to certain limiting loads a solid will recover it is
original dimension when the load is removed the recovery of the
original dimensions of deformed body when the load is removed is
known as elasticity.
Ductility:
y It is measure of the deformability of the material, determined by the
percentage of elongation or reduction of area.
Resilience:
y The ability of material to absorb energy when deformed elastically and
to return it when unloaded is called resilience.
The Difference Between Ductile And Brittle Material
y The material which elongates more than 5% before fracture is called
ductile material otherwise brittle material. Gold, silver, copper aretypical example ductile materials, and cast iron, concrete are brittle
material. In failure theory yield strength is used for ductile material,
where as ultimate strength used for brittle material.

LONGITUDINAL DISTORTION
Aim: To calculate longitudinal distortion.
Equipment Requirement:
1. Welding machine 5. Chipping hammer
2. Right angle 6. Wire brush
3. Steel scale 7. Safety equipment
4. Measuring tap
Consumable Requirement: E-7018
Material Requirement: carbon steel (6mm x 40mm x 250mm)
Theory/Concept:
Definition: Undesirable change in original shape is called as distortion.
Concept:
As a metal are heated they expand and when cooled they contract.
During welding heating and cooling of metals occurs universally resulting in
high stresses and the metal distorts (deform).
If the high stresses pass the elastic limit and go over the yield point, some
permanent distortion of the metals will occur.
A metal yield stress is reduced at high temperature.
Distortion is the result of uneven expansion and concentration of heated metals.
Metallurgical Aspect:
During most of the welding, filler metal is added from the electrode.
The molten filler metal and melted base metal combine to form the weld metal.
Page 32
8/7/2019 PARESH JADAV 23
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/paresh-jadav-23 32/46
Just as the weld metal solidifies, it is in its maximum expanded state actually
occupying the greatest volume it can occupy as a solid.
Upon cooling, it attempts to contract to the volume it would normally occupy at
the lower temperature, but is restrained from doing so by the adjacent base
metal. At the time the weld reaches room temperature assuring completed restraint of
the base metal so that it cannot move the weld tends to have locked in tensile
stresses approximately equal to the yield strength.
If one or more of the restraint are removed such as clamps holding the work
piece the locked in stresses find partial relief by causing he base metal to move
thus deforming of distorting the weldment.
y There are three type of distortion:
Transverse
Angular
Longitudinal
Longitudinal Distortion:
When a weld is deposited lengthwise on al light, narrow and perfectly flat strip
of metal that is neither clamped nor held in any way, the strip will tend to bow
upward in the direction of bead.
This is due to the longitudinal contraction of the weld metal as it cools.
Longitudinal contraction is maximum along the weld centre line and decrease
towards the edges.
High current-large size electrode maximum distortion
An in-between situation maximum distortion
Low current-small size electrode minimum distortion
Longitudinal distortion depends upon:
1. Contraction forces.
2. Stiffness of the section being welded.
3. Distance between the centroids of weld and section.
Page 33
8/7/2019 PARESH JADAV 23
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/paresh-jadav-23 33/46
Causes of distortion
- Distortion is caused by the unequal heat and cooling at a metallic body
during welding.
- Distortion is also caused by construction of the weldmetal during
solidification and cooling to room temperature.
- The construction of the surrounding parent metal as it cools from high
welding temperature, when these portion contract, they try to pull the parts
together and the result is distortion.
Remedies of distortion
- Use minimum weld metal avoid overwelding.
- Use correct fit-up. Avoid wide bevels and wide root gaps.
- Use correct sequence.
- Control the shape and size of component being welded.
- Try to present the parts correctly before welding whenever this is possible.
- Distortion is minimized by depositing minimum number of runs using the
heaviest electrode possible.

Material with size:
y MS Plate with size having 50 x 50 x 6mm ( Ø20 mm)
y MS round bar patch with 6mm thk ( Ø18 mm)
Theory/Concept:
y A circular patch test (CPT), was selected to evaluate sensitivity to hot crack
formation of the welds.
y The materials samples for evaluation were; 6 mm thick mild steel plate, and a 2.5
mm diameter AWS classified electrode
y Welding parameters used during welding of the CPT samples covered the range of
parameters recommended in the welding procedure specifications (WPS).
y A sample foe CPT consists of a plate 50 x 50 x 6 mm with a central hole of 20 mmdiameter.
y A disc of 18 mm diameter with a center hole of 6 mm diameter fits into the plate
hole.
y Both the plate and disc were made with of the same plate supplied for the testing.
y The edge of the hole in the sample plate and outer edge of the disc were prepared
in such a way that square butt or single Vee welds could be completed.
y The amount of restraint in the CPT welds decreases with increases radius of a
circular weld, root gap of the weld and decreased heat input.
y Both square butt and single Vee weld configuration welds were used in weldingtests.
y In addition to these, a single Vee weld in the upside down position was used to
simulate a penetration weld made from the other side of the plate.
y This was thought to simulate the bottom part of the single Vee welds made during
simultaneous welding from both sides.
HOT CRACK:
y The weld metal solidification starts from the fusion line towards the centre line of
the weld and in this process, concentrations of alloying elements and impurities are
pushed ahead of the inward growing crystals or dendrites.
y Solidification cracking is caused in the weld metal itself by tearing of the grain
boundaries before complete solidification has taken place and while the metal is
still in the plastic state.

CAUSES OF HOT CRACK:
y High current density
y Weld metal composition having wide freezing range.
y The distribution of heat and hence stresses in the weld metal itself.
y Impurities such as S and C or Ni content and those which form low freezing point
liquid films.
y Joint restraint and high thermal severity.
y Crack sensitivity of the electrode.
y Dilution of weld metal
REMEDIES:
y Proper current setting
y Dilution control
y Control of impurities
y Proper Heat input
Procedure:
y A circular hole is cut into the plate.
y A patch is fitted to create a circular weld groove.
y A weld bead is deposited along the circular configuration.y Welding stresses developed in the weld metal may give rise to cracking.
y Restraint can be varied in a given plate thickness by adjusting the
(i) plate size
(ii) patch diameter

CONTROLLED THERMAL SEVERITY TEST
Aim:
y To check weld ability of steel by controlled thermal severity test (CTS TEST)
Apparatus:
(1) Drilling machine
(2) Welding machine(3) Chipping hammer, wire brush
(4) Microscopic telescope
Consumable required:
(1) Electrode
(2) Penetrant, Developer & C leaner
Material required:
(1) Bottom plate 175 X 100 X 8
(2) Top plate 75 X 75 X 8
(3) Nut & Bolt M12 X 40L (All dimension are in mm)
Theory:
y The CTS test is based on principle of the fillet weld joint. Particularly for accessingweldability in relation to steel welded by arc welding process for establishing safe
welding process for low alloy steel.
y Armour steels are generally low alloy steel which are hardenable. Steel develop
high hardness with adequate fracture toughness. Hence a fine balance should be
maintained in the chemistry of the steel and its heat treatment, as told earlier the
Page 41

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/paresh-jadav-23 41/46
steel had passed all the ballistic tests and what was required to be proved was that
the steel can be welded
y High hardness steels are susceptible for what is called underbead cracking. These
cracks are buried cracks which develop under the weld bead and extremely
dangerous since they are not detected after welding and generally take some timeto develop. Three conditions are essential for this type of cracks to develop.
y There must be hydrogen in the weld. This hydrogen comes from the coating on the
electrode or from some external agent such as grease or oil used for preserving the
steel
y Tensile stress must be present in the welded structure
y There should be susceptible microstructure, that is microstructure such as marten
site

- Welding machine.
Consumable Required:
- Electrode
- Power

Material Required With Size:
- C.S round bar (8mm dia. 150mm length)
- C.S backing plate (120mm X 120mm)
Theory / Concept:
y The implant cracking test applies a known stress to a real heat affected zone
(HAZ) and can thus asses the susceptibility to HAZ hydrogen cracking by
means of a mechanical test parameter.
y An attractive feature of the implant test is that it needs only a small quantity
of the steel to be tested; just enough to machine out a specimen of 8mm dia
and with a maximum length of 150mm.
The Implant Test Procedure:
1. The implant cracking test uses a cylindrical sample called implant made of steel
under investigation which is notched at some distance from one of its ends.2. This notched steel sample is inserted in to a hole drilled in a backing plate of the
same or a comparable grade of steel, so that the notched end is flush with the plate
surface.
3. In order to execute the test a weld bead is deposited on the plate in one pass under
carefully controlled condition using the welding process and the consumable to be
tested.
4. The penetration must be such that the notch is located in the heat affected zone.
5. After welding and before complete cooling the specimen is put under a tensile
static load and the stress thus applied is determined in relation to the cross ±
section at the notch.6. After a specified load holding time (max 16 hours) in the event of no structure
having occurred the assembly backing plate / implant is released and any crack
which may be present at the level of the notch in the HAZ are then located.
