Spanish term or phrase: a la entalladura
Hi. I'm having problems with a part of a paragraph. I hope you can help me out.

I understand the whole paragraph and have translated it accordingly, but I can't seem to understand why "a la entalladura" is needed. Entalladura being groove. could you please hel me with the meaning of that bit and maybe translate it. Much appreciated.

"Por ejemplo, los punteos de soldadura depositados usando un proceso de autoprotección con desoxidantes de aluminio en el electrodo y subsecuentemente cubierta por pases de soldadura con arco eléctrico protegido puede resultar en un metal soldado con baja tenacidad a la entalladura, no obstante el hecho de que cada proceso en si mismo puede suministrar la tenacidad al metal base."

"Tenacidad" (>"toughness"):

"Tenacidad" refers to the impact resistance BEFORE breaking point. " Resiliencia" is the same, but to fracture.

The Charpy test (one of the test methods for impact resistance:) is also carried out in normal and notched specimens. Of course, the latter is a tougher test, and results invariably in a lower measured value. The idea for the latter is to test the impact resistance for the specimen against crack propagation, and the "notch" is the supposed "crack".

Summing up: "entalladura", here refers to a standardized notch carved into the specimen to be tested. The concept is to test the resistance of the specimen to crack propagation under impact, and this is why a "crack" is milled in the specimen.

Summing up: I would translate this part as:

"...con baja tenacidad en ensayo con entalla..."

For "entalla" vs. "notch" see:

La idea es que la "baja tenacidad a la entalladura" no se refiere a la PIEZA que se está soldando, sino a una propiedad del material, que se mide en un ensayo específico (usualmente, pero no necesariamente, el de Charpy: Hay otros), con una probeta normalizada del material. Es decir, NO se puede efectuar el ensayo sobre la pieza, porque hay que CORTAR una probeta de dimensiones normalizadas sobre ella, y fresar la correspondiente entalla normalizada sobre la misma.

El ensayo se realizaría sobre la probeta.

Perdón por la confusión: En el "summing up" final, en lugar de aportar la traducción al inglés escribí lo que yo habría puesto como original. Esto, traducido, resulta así:

"...may result in a welded metal with a poor notch-test toughness value..."

Notes to answerer
Asker: so the translaltion would be "...may result in a low tenacity welded metal to notches/grooves" Itis just the whole sentene seems strange in Spanish.

Asker: Thanks a lot for your help, but I have to translate to English. I suppose you thought it was to Spanish as the source text is pretty confusing. Why are you referring it to a test (en ensayo con entalla)? My understanding from the Spanish text "...may result in a low tenacity welded metal ??????", where the question marks are what I don't know what to express.

Asker: By the way I may realize some of the confusion, the text I have included is the source text (believe it or not). Sorry my wrong. :)
