AS 1663 – Method for dropweight test for nil-ductility transition temperature of ferritic steels

Outlines the method of conducting the NDTT test on ferritic steels which show a fracture surface appearance transition from brittle to ductile. It describes methods for test piece preparation, gives dimensions of the brittle-weld bead crack-starter and the procedure for carrying out the test.
