Is the weld strength of 150 MPa the allowable stress or the yield strength?
Thread Content
In a book, I came across this sentence: “The weld strength reaches 150 Mpa.” What parameter does this strength refer to here? Allowable stress, yield strength, or what?
Yield strength, an indicator used in weld evaluation tensile tests
There are several types of strength: tensile, compressive, and shear strength; generally, it’s the tensile strength that’s referred to
150 in yield strength is a bit too low
I agree with the opinion from the third floor; by default, it is the tensile strength. For details, please refer to **Standard mechanical property tests**
