Common Welding Defects and Their Remedial Measures !!
Abstract : There are several types of weld defects which may fall under different classifications depending on their location, size and shape in a particular consideration. We can break down weld defects into the following main categories: Inclusions Lack of fusion Porosity Undercut Under-fill Cracks Excess reinforcement and excess penetration Over-roll/Overlap Mechanical damage Spatter Keywords Welding Defects, Inclusions Fusion , Porosity, Undercut Under-fill, Cracks, Excess Reinforcement, Excess Penetration, Over-roll / Overlap Learning Outcomes After undergoing this article you will be able to understand about the following Inclusions Lack of fusion Porosity Undercut Under-fill Cracks Excess reinforcement and excess penetration Over-roll/Overlap Mechanical damage Spatter Some common welding defects are explained briefly include: Porosity Gas bubbles trapped in the weld metal, which can weaken the weld and make it more likely to crack or corrode. Causes of Porosity This can
