    This document discusses several welding defects including lack of fusion, lack of penetration, slag inclusion, excessive reinforcement, burn through, and arc strikes. It defines each defect and lists potential causes and remedies. Lack of fusion is a failure to join deposited metal to parent metal or between different metals. Lack of penetration is insufficient welding depth. Slag inclusion is trapped oxides or non-metallic materials in the weld. Excessive reinforcement is excess weld material. Burn through creates holes through the parent metal. Arc strikes occur when the electrode accidentally contacts the workpiece.

    LACK OF FUSION

    DEFINITION
    Lack of union in a weld between
    - deposited metal and parent
    metal, or
    parent metal and parent metal,
    or
    deposited metal and deposited
    metal

    LACK OF FUSION
    CAUSES AND REMEDIES
    CAUSES
    Insufficient welding
    current

    REMEDIES
    Ensure Correct welding
    current

    Incorrect electrode angle

    Correct welding angle

    Too high welding speed.

    Optimum welding speed

    Improper joint preparation


    Improper cleaning

    Proper joint preparation


    Good cleaning

    LACK OF FUSION

    LACK OF PENETRATION
    CAUSES
    Incorrect joint design

    Improper welding
    parameters.
    particularly current

    REMEDIES
    Correct edge preparation is
    required. Ensure correct angle
    of bevel & required root gap
    Correct welding speed, Correct
    current setting

    Incorrect electrode
    size

    Use correct size electrode

    Incorrect polarity
    where DC is used

    Ensure correct polarity.


    Maintain key-hole throughout
    the run

    LACK OF PENETRATION

    SLAG INCLUSION
    DEFINITION

    Entrapment of oxides and non


    metallic solid material in the weld
    deposit or in between the weld
    metal.

    SLAG INCLUSION
    CAUSES
    Improper cleaning of
    weld metal between
    passes

    Proper cleaning of the

    Stirring action of arc

    slag between passes

    REMEDIES

    Weld metal not hot

    enough to flow properly


    Rapid solidification of

    weld metal

    Preheating the base metal

    Use of large size electrode


    for root pass welding

    Excessive Reinforcement
    DEFINITION
    WELD DEPOSIT OVER AND
    ABOVE THE
    REQUIORED SIZE OF
    THE WELD
    SIGNIFICANCE
    THE WEIGHT, WIDTH, RADIUS AND
    REINFORCEMENT ANGLE IS
    MORE IMPORTANT.

    Excessive Reinforcement

    Excessive Reinforcement
    CAUSES
    Poor Fit Up
    Excessive welding
    current
    Low welding speed

    REMEDIES
    Proper fit up
    Correct welding
    current
    Optimum welding
    speed

    Improper welding
    technique

    Correct welding
    technique

    BURN THROUGH (OR)


    EXCESSIVE PENETRATION

    Definition
    Holes burned through the parent
    metal in single pass weld or the
    root run in multi run welds.
    Creates an opening at the root.

    BURN THROUGH (OR)


    EXCESSIVE PENETRATION

    CAUSES

    REMEDIES

    Excessive root gap

    Correct root gap

    Insufficient root

    Sufficient root face

    face
    Excessive welding
    current
    Low welding speed

    Correct welding
    current
    Optimum welding
    speed

    ARC STRIKES
    Definition
    Defect caused when the welder accidentally
    or in advertently strikes the electrode or the
    electrode holder against the work, adjacent
    to the weld causing unwanted arc.
    Also happened between a faulty ground
    clamp and work
    EFFECT OF ARC STRIKES
    --Create a hard and brittle condition on
    materials
    --Arc strikes initiate failure in cyclic loading
