EXPECTATIONS
PRETEST
Directions: Match column A with the correct answer on column B, write only the
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.
RECAP
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:
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.
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.
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”.
