5 Principle
5.1 General
The self-restraint cold cracking tests are designed to assess the cold cracking sensitivity of the parent
materials and the arc welding consumables. The test consists of depositing a weld bead on a test sample
made of two plates with pre-defined conditions and to examine transverse cut faces of the weld with a view to
detect possible cracks either in the weld metal or in the heat affected zone.
This test procedure essentially applies to metal arc welding with covered electrodes and semi-automatic gas
metal arc welding using solid and tubular wires. In general this method is not used for high current processes
such as submerged-arc welding.
5.2 Qualitative evaluation
When using well determined welding conditions for welding a given material, a single evaluation test is
performed. In the case of the CTS-test, the two test welds are examined.
5.3 Quantitative evaluation
When aiming at determining the cracking limit, a series of tests shall be performed. The no crack test shall be
repeated, on the contrary, other tests shall be performed.
6 Test

6.1.1 Dimensions of the test pieces

6.1.2 Preparation of the test pieces
All test pieces shall be prepared from those parent materials which are actually to be welded with the welding
consumables to be tested (see Figure 2).
Machine the test material for the pieces by sawing, milling or grinding. Ensure that surfaces to be welded are
milled or ground finish. Take care to minimize heating and deformation in the material during machining.
Use the general arrangement of the test piece shown in Figure 1 and the tolerances and surface finish
requirements given in Table 2.

a
Surface finish on area to be welded 6,3 µm R max.
a
Mating face gap 0,05 mm max.
Top and bottom blocks shall both have the same thickness. Top blocks shall be machined and bottom blocks
may be machined or flame cut. Both blocks shall be of the same material.
In those exceptional circumstances where it is impossible to machine both blocks from the test material, the
top block shall be from the material under test and the bottom block from a material of equivalent yield
strength. It is important that the susceptibility of the bottom block to HAZ hydrogen cracking is less than that of
the test material.
Where the principal rolling direction of the plate can be determined, arrange the rolling directions of the top
and bottom plates to be the same (see Figure 1).
Ensure that the surfaces to be welded are ground smooth and free from scale, rust, oil, grease and other
contaminants.
Use a bolt with a 12 mm diameter for assembling the blocks. Degrease the bolt, a suitable plain nut and any
washers to be used prior to use. Do not use nuts and bolts treated by plating processes. Insert the bolt
through the top and bottom blocks, add the nut and washers and tighten to the required torque (see Table 2).
