EXPECTATIONS

At the end of this module, the learners will be able to

A. define the different kinds of Weld Defects;


B. enumerate the different kinds of Weld Defects; and
C. value the importance of understanding weld defects.

PRETEST

Directions: Match column A with the correct answer on column B, write only the

letter of answer on the blank provided before each number.

A B
a. Porosity ______1. When the base of metal melts away from the weld zone,
then a groove is formed in the shape of a notch, then this type of
defect is known as Undercut. It reduces the fatigue strength of the
joint.
b. Undercut ______2. This is the most unwanted defect of all the other welding
defects. Welding cracks can be present at the surface, inside of the
weld material or at the heat affected zones.
c. Overlap ______3When some metal drops are expelled from the weld and
remain stuck to the surface, then this defect is known as Spatter.
d. Spatter _____4. Porosity in the condition in which the gas or small bubbles
gets trapped in the welded zone.
e. Weld Crack _____5. When the weld face extends beyond the weld toe, then this
defect occurs. In this condition the weld metal rolls and forms an
angle less than 90 degrees.

LESSON

What is Welding Defects?

Welding Defects -can be defined as the irregularities formed in the given weld metal
due to wrong welding process or incorrect welding patterns, etc. The defect may
differ from the desired weld bead shape, size, and intended quality. Welding defects
may occur either outside or inside the weld metal. Some of the defects may be
allowed if the defects are under permissible limits but other defects such as cracks
are never accepted.

Types

Welding defects can be classified into two types as external and internal defects:

External Welding Defects: Internal Welding Defects:


1.WeldCrack 1. Slag Inclusion
2. Undercut 2. Incomplete Fusion
3. Spatter 3. Necklace cracking
4. Porosity 4. Incompletely filled groove or
5. Overlap Incomplete penetration
6. Crater
External Welding Defects

1. Weld Crack
This is the most unwanted defect of all the other
welding defects. Welding cracks can be present at the
surface, inside of the weld material or at the heat
affected zones.

2. Undercut - When the base of metal melts away


from the weld zone, then a groove is formed in the
shape of a notch, then this type of defect is known
as Undercut. It reduces the fatigue strength of the
joint.

3. Spatter- When some metal drops are expelled


from the weld and remain stuck to the surface,
then this defect is known as Spatter.

4. Porosity- Porosity is the condition in which the


gas or small bubbles gets trapped in the welded
zone.

5. Overlap- When the weld face extends beyond the


weld toe, then this defect occurs. In this condition
the weld metal rolls and forms an angle less than
90 degrees.

6. Crater - It occurs when the crater is not filled before the arc is broken, which
causes the outer edges to cool faster than the crater. This causes a stress and then
crack is formed.

Internal Welding Defects


1. Slag Inclusion- If there is any slag in the
weld, then it affects the toughness and metal
weld ability of the given material. This
decreases the structural performance of the
weld material. Slag is formed on the surface of
the weld or between the welding turns.

2. Incomplete Fusion - Incomplete fusion


occurs when the welder does not accurately
weld the material and the metal pre solidifies
which leads to a gap which is not filled with
the molten metal.

3. Necklace Cracking

It occurs in the use of electron beam welding where the weld does not penetrate
properly. Therefore, the molten metal does not flow into the cavity and results in a
cracking known as “Necklace Cracking”.

4. Incompletely Filled Groove or Incomplete


Penetration - These defects occur only in the
butt welds where the groove of the metal is
not filled completely. It is also called as
incomplete penetration defect.
