Side bend tests are similar to face and root bend tests, except they are bent

so the side of the weld is on the outside or convex surface of the specimen. Side bends
expose defects in the interior and fusion zone of the weld.

DETAILS OF TRANSVERSE TENSION AND GUIDED BEND TESTS

FIGURE 6

10.9.4.2.1

An all-weld-metal tensile test, as shown in Figure 3, would not be meaningful

for single-pass electrodes because in single-pass welds, the weld metal is always substantially diluted with the base metal. The bend test is prescribed for these electrodes because
they contain relatively high amounts of manganese and silicon that can reduce ductility
somewhat, and can cause cracking in the weld area when present in excessive amounts.
