Explanation:

Welding defects:

  • Cracks
  • Cavities
  • Solid inclusions
  • Incomplete fusion
  • Imperfect shape or unacceptable contour

 

Welding cracks:

  • Fracture-type interruptions either in the weld or in base metal adjacent to the weld.
  • Serious defect because it is a discontinuity in the metal that significantly reduces strength.
  • Caused by embrittlement or low ductility of weld and/or base metal combined with high restraint during contraction.
  • In general, this defect must be repaired.
