Abstract

The paper focusses on additional COD test validity criteria which are seen as necessary to ensure the accurate assessment of heat affected zone toughness. Theoretical considerations indicate that it is necessary for the COD notch to intersect the heat affected zone for at least 8% of the specimen thickness in order to ensure accurate toughness measurement.
