Questions and Answers

What is convexity in welding defined as?

  • The minimum distance from the face of a convex fillet weld parallel to a line joining the weld toes

    Study Notes

    Welding Defects and Corrections

    • Large diameter pipes can be repaired using the same method as external undercut.
    • Small diameter pipe undercut defects require cutting out the section and preparing a new joint.
    • Acceptable and unacceptable groove weld profiles are shown in Figure 19.
    • Concavity is defined as the maximum distance from the face of a concave fillet weld to a line joining the weld toes.
    • Operator techniques and welding parameters can cause concavity in fillet welds.
    • Excessively concave fillet welds can be corrected by adding more weld passes.
    • Desirable, acceptable, and unacceptable fillet weld profiles are shown in Figure 23.
    • Weld deficiencies due to insufficient or excessive size and poor profile may be detected visually or by using suitable gauges.
    • The leg and throat size of concave fillet welds can be measured with fillet weld gauges.
    • Out-of-line weld beads can result in incomplete joint penetration when complete joint penetration is required.
    • Incomplete fusion is the failure to fuse between weld metal and fusion faces or adjoining weld beads.
    • Incomplete fusion may be caused by factors such as improper electrode selection, welding parameters, and joint design.
