In production, defects often appear as visual signs. These can be toe grooves, pinholes, or a poor profile. But the real risk is what you cannot see. This includes a lack of fusion at the sidewall or trapped inclusions. It also includes root penetration that never fully formed. At Yonglihao Machinery, we see a common pattern. Defects are rarely random. Most can be traced to things you can control. These include joint prep, heat input, shielding, and fit-up. This guide is practical. It helps you find the defect fast. You can link it to the most likely root causes. Then, you can choose the right inspection and actions to prevent repeat defects.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-xl leading-[40px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[21px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">What Are Welding Defects?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">A welding defect is an flaw that goes beyond set limits.

These include the acceptance class, service condition, and defect location. It is not just the defect&#8217;s name. A small surface pore on a cosmetic bracket might be fine. The same pore near a highly stressed toe can be a reject. Good QA starts with two questions. First, where is the indication? Is it at the root, toe, heat-affected zone, or inside? Second, what will the part face in service? This could be a static load, cyclic load, pressure, or vibration. Once those are clear, standards and plans can be applied consistently.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23456 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/yonglihaomachinery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metal-Welding-1.jpg\" alt=\"Metal-Welding-1\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yonglihaomachinery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metal-Welding-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yonglihaomachinery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metal-Welding-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-xl leading-[40px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[21px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Why Welding Defects Happen?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Most welding defects come from a mismatch. This mismatch is between heat input, shielding, cleanliness, and joint fit-up. When one of these is unstable, you get a repeatable signature. For example, a high arc length tends to cause undercut and spatter. Poor shielding leads to porosity. A poor fit-up results in incomplete penetration or overlap. Poor cleaning between passes shows as slag inclusions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Process root causes usually fall into five groups:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"pb-xxs pt-[9px] list-disc pl-5xl pt-[5px]\">\n<li class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] my-[5px] [&amp;&gt;ol]:!pb-0 [&amp;&gt;ol]:!pt-0 [&amp;&gt;ul]:!pb-0 [&amp;&gt;ul]:!pt-0\" dir=\"ltr\" value=\"1\"><b><strong class=\"font-semibold\">Equipment &amp; power stability:<\/strong><\/b> Drifting current or voltage, worn contact tips, a poor return path, or inconsistent wire feed.<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] my-[5px] [&amp;&gt;ol]:!pb-0 [&amp;&gt;ol]:!pt-0 [&amp;&gt;ul]:!pb-0 [&amp;&gt;ul]:!pt-0\" dir=\"ltr\" value=\"2\"><b><strong class=\"font-semibold\">Parameters &amp; heat input:<\/strong><\/b> Travel speed, arc length, wire feed, and pulse settings.

This is key in multi-pass work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">On the shop floor, we treat fixtures and fit-up as a &#8220;silent parameter.&#8221; If parts do not mate well, operators adjust. They change their angle, speed, and dwell time. This causes variation to grow. Before you adjust current or voltage, lock down other things. Secure the clamping, gap, alignment, and access. Then, record the actual travel speed and stickout used. This is often where the root cause is found.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-xl leading-[40px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[21px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Main Types of Welding Defects<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Weld Cracks<\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">A weld crack is a sharp fracture. It can be in the weld metal, heat-affected zone, or base metal. It creates a high stress point and can spread quickly. Hot cracking is tied to how the metal solidifies and cools under restraint. Cold cracking is often linked to hydrogen, hard microstructures, and stress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Use crack control discipline. This is needed when the joint is restrained, thick, or high-strength. It is also for service-critical parts. Small cracks rarely &#8220;stay small.&#8221; Cracks must be removed down to sound metal. You must verify preheat and interpass controls where needed. Use clean consumables and a controlled cool-down to prevent re-cracking. If cracks repeat in the same area, treat it as a system issue. This points to joint restraint, hydrogen control, or heat input, not just a cosmetic flaw.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Undercut<\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Undercut is a groove at the weld toe. It reduces the effective cross-section of the weld. It also raises fatigue sensitivity. It often happens when travel speed is high or arc length is too long. A poor torch angle can also wash metal away from the edge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Preventing undercut is usually a &#8220;stability fix.&#8221; It is not a redesign. Tighten the arc length and reduce high voltage. Slow down slightly and keep a stable torch angle. This helps the toe get enough filler metal. If undercut appears mainly on one side, check access and fit-up. Operators often lean away from the toe when clearance is tight.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Overlap<\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Overlap is when weld metal rolls over the base metal. It does so without proper fusion at the toe. This is often caused by slow travel or low fusion energy at the toe. It can also happen when the puddle floods beyond the toe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Overlap is more likely on fillets and out-of-position welds. Here, puddle control is harder. Improve wetting by increasing heat at the toe, within limits. Keep a tighter, shorter arc. Use a more controlled bead size. Maintain an angle that directs energy into the toe, not outward.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Porosity<\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Porosity is gas trapped in the solidifying weld metal. It can appear on the surface or inside. Scattered pinholes often point to shielding issues or drafts. Pores that cluster at starts and stops suggest arc stability problems or moisture. &#8220;Worm tracks&#8221; may mean surface contamination or a collapsing shielding envelope.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Porosity control is a cleanliness and shielding problem first. It is a parameter problem second. Start with these steps. Clean the metal until it is bright where needed. Keep consumables and joints dry. Verify the gas type and ensure a leak-free flow. Protect the area from airflow. Keep a consistent stickout so the gas cup shields the puddle. Once those are stable, you can fine-tune travel speed and heat input. This helps gas escape before the metal solidifies.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Slag Inclusion<\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Slag inclusion is nonmetallic material trapped in the weld. It is common in flux-based processes or between multi-pass layers. The usual cause is poor cleaning between passes. It can also be from poor bead placement or low heat that cannot float the slag out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">If slag shows up between passes, treat cleaning as a required step. Do not clean only &#8220;as time allows.&#8221; Improve joint access. Ensure enough heat input for the slag to float out. Place beads to avoid creating pockets that trap slag. When inclusions repeat at the sidewall, check the joint geometry and angle. Slag often hides in sharp corners.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Incomplete Fusion<\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Incomplete fusion means the weld metal did not fuse to the base metal. This can happen at the sidewall or between passes. It often hides behind a &#8220;good-looking bead.&#8221; The surface can be filled while the sidewall never truly melted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Typical triggers are low heat at the fusion line. This can be from traveling too fast, a wrong torch angle, or too much stickout. Contamination or bead placement that lets the puddle outrun the arc are also causes. Adding filler will not fix a fusion issue unless the interface is melted. Aim energy into the sidewall or root. Correct the joint geometry and access. Verify with the right inspection when the joint is critical.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Incomplete Penetration<\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Incomplete penetration occurs when the weld does not go fully through the joint at the root. It is often driven by a tight root geometry or misalignment. An insufficient root gap or low root heat can also be the cause.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">If penetration is consistently short, the fix is usually in the joint geometry and torch position. It is not about adding &#8220;more cover passes.&#8221; Verify the root opening, bevel, and alignment. Make sure the electrode is directed into the root. This ensures the root face melts and ties in.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Burn-Through<\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Burn-through is a hole created when the weld fully melts through the base metal. It happens on thin sections or with large gaps. It is most common with too much heat input, slow travel, or poor fit-up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Burn-through control starts with fit-up and restraint. Close gaps, clamp properly, and use backing when needed. Then, tune your parameters. Reduce the heat input and shorten the dwell time. Maintain a steady travel speed to avoid overheating one spot. For thin sheets, consistent gap control often matters more than small parameter changes.<\/p>\n<table class=\"w-max table-auto border border-neutral\">\n<colgroup>\n<col \/>\n<col \/>\n<col \/>\n<col

dir=\"ltr\">How to Detect Welding Defects?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">You detect welding defects by matching the inspection method to the defect&#8217;s location. This could be on the surface, near-surface, or internal. A good inspection plan starts with a question. What failure mode are we preventing? Leaks and pressure boundaries need high sensitivity to pores and inclusions. Fatigue-loaded joints need you to check for toe cracks, undercut, and lack of fusion. Thick, multi-pass welds require checking for internal flaws. Start with Visual Testing (VT) to catch common external issues. Then, use Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) when risk requires more certainty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\"><b><strong class=\"font-semibold\">VT (Visual Testing):<\/strong><\/b> This method finds cracks, undercut, overlap, spatter, and burn-through. Use proper lighting and magnification as needed. Measure findings against the criteria. The size and location matter more than just their presence.<\/p>\n<table class=\"w-max table-auto border border-neutral\">\n<colgroup>\n<col \/>\n<col \/>\n<col \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr dir=\"ltr\">\n<th class=\"border border-neutral p-2 min-w-[48px] max-w-[400px] bg-neutral-100 text-left\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Method<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th class=\"border border-neutral p-2 min-w-[48px] max-w-[400px] bg-neutral-100 text-left\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Best for<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th class=\"border border-neutral p-2 min-w-[48px] max-w-[400px] bg-neutral-100 text-left\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Typical limits to remember<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr dir=\"ltr\">\n<td class=\"border border-neutral p-2 min-w-[48px] max-w-[400px]\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">PT (Liquid Penetrant)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-neutral p-2 min-w-[48px] max-w-[400px]\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">surface-breaking cracks\/porosity on clean, non-porous surfaces<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-neutral p-2 min-w-[48px] max-w-[400px]\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">won\u2019t see internal defects; needs clean\/dry surface<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr dir=\"ltr\">\n<td class=\"border border-neutral p-2 min-w-[48px] max-w-[400px]\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">MT\/MPI (Magnetic Particle)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-neutral p-2 min-w-[48px] max-w-[400px]\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">surface + near-surface flaws in ferromagnetic materials<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-neutral p-2 min-w-[48px] max-w-[400px]\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">only for magnetic materials; surface prep matters<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr dir=\"ltr\">\n<td class=\"border border-neutral p-2 min-w-[48px] max-w-[400px]\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">UT (Ultrasonic)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-neutral p-2 min-w-[48px] max-w-[400px]\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">internal planar defects, lack of fusion\/penetration<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-neutral p-2 min-w-[48px] max-w-[400px]\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">geometry and skill sensitive; small pores can be harder to find<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr dir=\"ltr\">\n<td class=\"border border-neutral p-2 min-w-[48px] max-w-[400px]\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">RT (Radiography)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-neutral p-2 min-w-[48px] max-w-[400px]\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">internal volumetric defects (porosity, slag), some geometry issues<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-neutral p-2 min-w-[48px] max-w-[400px]\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">access and safety constraints; planar cracks can be hard to see<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">A practical rule is this: if the result of a failure is high, do not rely on VT alone.

First, remove the indication completely. Second, re-weld under controlled conditions. Third, re-inspect to confirm it is acceptable. Most repair failures happen for two reasons. One, the defect was only blended and not fully removed. Two, the original root cause was not fixed before rewelding. Skipping any step is how repairs become repeat defects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Typical repair logic:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"pb-xxs pt-[9px] list-disc pl-5xl pt-[5px]\">\n<li class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] my-[5px] [&amp;&gt;ol]:!pb-0 [&amp;&gt;ol]:!pt-0 [&amp;&gt;ul]:!pb-0 [&amp;&gt;ul]:!pt-0\" dir=\"ltr\" value=\"1\"><b><strong class=\"font-semibold\">Remove to sound metal:<\/strong><\/b> Grind or gouge out cracks, slag, or lack-of-fusion areas.

Use other NDT methods when required by the criteria or risk level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">When should you reject a part instead of repairing it? Do this if removal violates the minimum thickness. Or if it distorts critical geometry. Also, reject if repeated repairs show an unstable process. One clean repair is fine. Repeated patching signals a process problem.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23458 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/yonglihaomachinery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metal-Welding-3.jpg\" alt=\"Metal-Welding-3\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yonglihaomachinery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metal-Welding-3.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yonglihaomachinery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metal-Welding-3-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-xl leading-[40px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[21px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Prevention Checklist<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Prevention works best when you standardize the inputs that cause defects. These include cleanliness, fit-up, parameters, and sequence. We focus on reducing variation first. Variation creates &#8220;random defects&#8221; that are hard to control. If two operators use different stickout, travel speed, and torch angles, the same settings will not produce the same weld.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\"><b><strong class=\"font-semibold\">Weld-prep checklist (fast but high impact):<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"pb-xxs pt-[9px] list-disc pl-5xl pt-[5px]\">\n<li class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] my-[5px] [&amp;&gt;ol]:!pb-0 [&amp;&gt;ol]:!pt-0 [&amp;&gt;ul]:!pb-0 [&amp;&gt;ul]:!pt-0\" dir=\"ltr\" value=\"1\"><b><strong class=\"font-semibold\">Surface:<\/strong><\/b> Remove oil, paint, rust, or oxide where the arc must work.

This would be cleanliness or shielding. Do this before you tune settings. Parameter changes cannot fix a contaminated base metal or a shielding leak.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-xl leading-[40px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[21px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">If you want fewer welding defects, do not start with &#8220;more inspection.&#8221; Whether you handle general fabrication or offer <a href=\"https:\/\/yonglihaomachinery.com\/metal-welding-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>specialized welding services<\/strong><\/a>, start with stable fit-up, clean surfaces, and controlled inputs. At Yonglihao Machinery, the fastest wins come from a simple sequence. First, lock down joint prep and clamping. Second, verify shielding integrity. Third, document a stable parameter window. Fourth, enforce basics like interpass cleaning. Finally, use VT and the right NDT to confirm, not guess. When you treat defects as signals of unstable inputs, weld quality becomes predictable.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><b>FAQ<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">What are the most common welding defects in production?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Cracks, porosity, undercut, overlap, slag inclusion, and lack of fusion are the most common. They repeat because they are tied to controllable inputs. These inputs are fit-up, cleanliness, shielding, and heat input. Stabilize those inputs before changing procedures.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">How can I quickly tell \u201cdefect\u201d vs \u201cdiscontinuity\u201d on the shop floor?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">You cannot decide without acceptance criteria. A &#8220;defect&#8221; is a discontinuity that exceeds the limits for the part&#8217;s use. Identify the indication type and size. Then, compare it to the acceptance class. Location and service load can change the final decision.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">What usually causes porosity even when gas is on?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Most porosity comes from contamination or a loss of shielding coverage. It is not just from &#8220;too little gas.&#8221; Check for oil, moisture, or paint. Look for drafts, leaks, and incorrect stickout. Unstable arc conditions can also disturb the shielding.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">What\u2019s the fastest way to reduce undercut?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Shorten your arc length. Reduce excessive voltage. Keep a stable torch angle so the toe is supported by filler metal. If it repeats in one position, improve clearance or fixturing. Access problems often force angles that cause undercut.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pdf-heading-class-replace pb-xxs text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">When should I choose UT vs RT for internal defects?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-md font-regular leading-[24px] pb-xxs pt-[9px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Choose UT when you suspect planar defects like lack of fusion.
