Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Fracture test (ISO 9017:2017)

ISO 9017:2017 specifies the sizes of test specimen and the procedures for carrying out fracture tests in order to obtain information about types, sizes and distribution of internal imperfections such as porosities, cracks, lack of fusion, lack of penetration and solid inclusions on the fracture surface.
ISO 9017:2017 applies to metallic materials in all forms of product with joints made by any fusion welding process with a thickness greater or equal to 2 mm.

Overview

EN ISO 9017:2018 (ISO 9017:2017) - "Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Fracture test" specifies how to prepare and carry out fracture tests on welded joints to reveal internal imperfections. The standard defines specimen sizes, notching and test procedures to obtain information about the type, size and distribution of defects such as porosities, cracks, lack of fusion, lack of penetration and solid inclusions on the fracture surface. It applies to metallic materials in any product form with fusion-welded joints of thickness ≥ 2 mm.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: Fusion welding processes, metallic products, thickness ≥ 2 mm.
• Test principle: Induce a fracture through the weld (by bending or tension, static or dynamic loading) and examine the fracture surface. Notch geometry and test temperature may be varied to encourage a representative fracture.
• Temperature: Unless otherwise specified, tests are carried out at ambient temperature (23 ± 5 °C).
• Specimen sizing and preparation: The standard specifies examination length (Lf), examination thickness (af), examination area (Af) and total examination area (ƩAf). Figures and tables define test-piece geometries for butt welds, fillet welds and pipe welds. (For high-thermal-conductivity materials such as aluminium and copper, certain minimum dimensions are given, e.g. a ≥ 150 mm in figures.)
• Notching and denominations: Side, face and root notches (square, round, sharp) are defined and combined with specimen dimensions in standard denominations (e.g. BW/(L×a) or FW/(L×a)/Fq).
• Removal, marking and extraction: Procedures for obtaining representative specimens from production welds are specified (marking, extraction, preparation).
• Reporting: Test results and required contents of the test report are defined; an informative example report is included.

Practical applications and users

EN ISO 9017:2018 is used to:

• Verify weld integrity and reveal internal discontinuities that non‑destructive tests might miss.
• Support acceptance criteria in welding quality control and fabrication inspection.
• Provide forensic data after weld failures to determine defect types and distribution.

Typical users:

• Welding engineers and weld inspectors
• Quality assurance/quality control teams in fabrication and construction
• Metallurgical and mechanical testing laboratories
• Certification bodies and code authorities assessing welded assemblies

Related standards

• ISO 5817 - Quality levels for imperfections in fusion-welded joints (steel, nickel, titanium)
• ISO 10042 - Arc-welded joints in aluminium - Quality levels for imperfections
• ISO 17637 - Non-destructive testing of welds - Visual testing
