1.1”This guide covers procedures for the reconstitution of ferritic steel, Type A Charpy V-notch specimens (Test Methods E23) and Charpy-sized fracture toughness specimens suitable for testing in three point bending in accordance with Test Methods E1921 or E1820. Ferritic steels (principally broken specimens used in nuclear power plant irradiation programs) are reconstituted by welding end tabs of similar material onto remachined specimen sections that were unaffected by the initial test. Guidelines are given for the selection of suitable specimen halves and end tab materials, for dimensional control, and for avoidance of overheating the notch area. A comprehensive overview of the reconstitution methodologies can be found in Ref (1).2
