A method of testing a filler material to be used in an arc welding process, the method comprising the steps of providing first and second test plates, the first test plate having a generally planar surface, and the second test plate having opposed, parallel, generally planar surfaces and a beveled edge forming a generally planar beveled surface extending at an angle from one of the opposed surfaces and forming a generally planar land which extends between the beveled surface and the other of the opposed surfaces and which extends generally perpendicular to the opposed surfaces, placing the land in abutment with the first plate surface, providing a restraining fillet weld at the junction of the other surface of the second plate and the first plate surface, and using the filler material to provide a test fillet weld at the junction of the beveled surface and the first plate surface.
