With a steel bike you can be pretty certain whether a joint is broken or a tube is bent. If none are, you can ride it with confidence. I don't know about the others.
Put a stress crack in a weld, and maybe you would see it and maybe not. All I am saying is that any frame material can fail if it suffers an impact.
