Examples – Hardness Testing
 Max. of Hardness < HV 350
 1. HV < 350
 2. max. HV = 939 C +284 (D)
 3. HV = 1200 CEV – 200 (D)
 4. HV = 666 CEV + 40 (Japan)
 1. C < 0,22 % no preheating
2. CEV = % C + % Mn/6
3. CEV < 0,35 no preheating,
0,35< CEV < 0,45 weldable with
preheating,
CEV > 0,45 no weldable

 First CEV for welding

1. C < 0,22 % no preheating

2. CEV = % C + % Mn/6
3. CEV < 0,35 no preheating,
0,35< CEV < 0,45 weldable with
preheating,
