The inspection method according to the “required quality” is required. For typical objects, however, there are methods for measuring nugget diameter etc. by cross section macro-test, and for measuring the tensile strength, there are tensile stress called TSS and cross-hair tensile strength called CTS.
The actual work can not be used in case of these measuring method.In such cases, chisel test, peel test, or torsion test may be adopted to facilitate on-site testing.
These measuring methods are also specified in JIS and should be used as a reference.
