Welding defects are simply defects or unacceptable imperfections in the welding process. This article holds the elaborative analysis of different welding defects, its various types, and the subsequent causes and remedies. Let’s delve into the broader perspective of

Examples of External Welding defects are- Undercut, spatters, crater crack, Underfill, open to surface pore/ porosity, surface cracks (longitudinal, transverse, chevron and other types of cracks), overlap, lack of fusion on the surface or root side, excessive convexity/ concavity, and linear misalignment, etc.

A weld crack is the most dangerous sort of welding flaw, and it is not allowed by practically all industry standards. It might appear on the surface, in the welded metal, or in the region that has been subjected to high temperatures. The cause of this defect is usually ...

INTRODUCTION •Performance & longevity of welded structure in service depends on: –the presence or absence of defects in weld joints. •Not possible for the welds to be completely sound •Improper welding parameters & wrong welding procedures introduce
