NOTES:
(1) The qualification test coupon shall consist of base metal not less than 6 in. (152 mm) × 6 in. (152 mm). The weld overlay cladding
shall be a minimum of 11/2 in. (38 mm) wide by approximately 6 in. (152 mm) long. For qualification on pipe, the pipe length shall be
a minimum of 6 in. (152 mm), and a minimum diameter to allow the required number of test specimens. The weld overlay shall be
continuous around the circumference of the test coupon. For processes (performance qualification only) depositing a weld bead width
greater than 1/2 in. (13 mm) wide, the weld overlay shall consist of a minimum of three weld beads in the first layer.
(2) The test base metal coupon shall have minimum dimensions of 6 in. (152 mm) wide × approximately 6 in. (152 mm) long with a hard-
faced layer a minimum of 11/2 in. (38 mm) wide × 6 in. (152 mm) long. The minimum hard-faced thickness shall be as specified in the
Welding Procedure Specification. Alternatively, the qualification may be performed on a test base metal coupon that represents the size
of the production part. For qualification on pipe, the pipe length shall be 6 in. (152 mm) minimum, and of a minimum diameter to
allow the required number of test specimens. The weld overlay shall be continuous around the circumference of the test coupon.
(3) The hard-facing surface shall be examined by the liquid penetrant method and shall meet the acceptance standards in QW-195.2 or as
specified in the WPS. Surface conditioning prior to liquid penetrant examination is permitted.
(4) The corrosion-resistant surface shall be examined by the liquid penetrant method and shall meet the acceptance standards as specified in
QW-195.
(5) Following the liquid penetrant examination, four guided side-bend tests shall be made from the test coupon in accordance with QW-161.
The test specimens shall be cut so that there are either two specimens parallel and two specimens perpendicular to the direction of the
welding, or four specimens perpendicular to the direction of the welding. For coupons that are less than 3/8 in. (10 mm) thick, the width
of the side-bend specimens may be reduced to the thickness of the test coupon. The side-bend specimens shall be removed from locations
specified in QW-462.5(c) or QW-462.5(d).
(6) The test coupon shall be sectioned to make side-bend test specimens perpendicular to the direction of the welding in accordance with
QW-161. Test specimens shall be removed at locations specified in QW-462.5(c) or QW-462.5(d).
(7) After surface conditioning to the minimum thickness specified in the WPS, a minimum of three hardness readings shall be made on each
of the specimens from the locations shown in QW-462.5(b) or QW-462.5(e). All readings shall meet the requirements of the WPS.
(8) The base metal shall be sectioned transversely to the direction of the hard-facing overlay. The two faces of the hard-facing exposed by
sectioning shall be polished and etched with a suitable etchant and shall be visually examined with ×5 magnification for cracks in the
base metal or the heat-affected zone, lack of fusion, or other linear defects. The overlay and the base metal shall meet the requirements
specified in the WPS. All exposed faces shall be examined. See QW-462.5(b) for pipe and QW-462.5(e) for plate.
(9) When a chemical composition is specified in the WPS, chemical analysis specimens shall be removed at locations specified in QW-
462.5(b) or QW-462.5(e). The chemical analysis shall be performed in accordance with QW-462.5(a) and shall be within the range
specified in the WPS. This chemical analysis is not required when a chemical composition is not specified on the WPS.
(10) At a thickness greater than or equal to the minimum thickness specified in the WPS, the weld surface shall be examined by the liquid
penetrant method and shall meet the acceptance standards in QW-195.2 or as specified in the WPS. Surface conditioning prior to liquid
penetrant examination is permitted.

the prepared surface.
(3) When a chemical analysis test is conducted on material removed by a horizontal drilled sample, the distance from the
approximate weld interface to the uppermost side of the drilled cavity shall become the minimum qualified overlay
thickness. The chemical analysis shall be performed on chips of material removed from the drilled cavity.

GENERAL NOTE: See QW-466.1 for jig dimensions and general notes.
NOTES:
(1) Either hardened and greased shoulders or hardened rollers free to rotate shall be used.
(2) The shoulders or rollers shall have a minimum bearing surface of 2 in. (51 mm) for placement
of the specimen. The rollers shall be high enough above the bottom of the jig so that the
specimens will clear the rollers when the ram is in the low position.
(3) The ram shall be fitted with an appropriate base and provision made for attachment to
the testing machine, and shall be of a sufficiently rigid design to prevent deflection and
misalignment while making the bend test. The body of the ram may be less than the dimen-
sions shown in column A of QW-466.1.
(4) If desired, either the rollers or the roller supports may be made adjustable in the horizontal
direction so that specimens of t thickness may be tested on the same jig.
(5) The roller supports shall be fitted with an appropriate base designed to safeguard against
deflection and misalignment and equipped with means for maintaining the rollers centered
midpoint and aligned with respect to the ram.
