Bend tests lead to good results. It should however be noted that in welds carried
out on alloyed steels, the hardness difference observed in the weld area causes a
deformation during the transverse bending test on either side of the molten zone.
Longitudinal bend testing is thus more useful since it forces all the zones to deform
in the same manner.
For the impact test, a crack deviation and the absence of rupture is often
observed in the test sample.
This then raises the problem of the tests validity. Palliative solutions have been
developed to try to evaluate the strength of these welds. Currently there is no
