Study Notes
Welding Discontinuities and Joint Preparation
- Insufficient root opening can lead to inadequate joint penetration, incomplete fusion, and slag entrapment
- Excessive root opening may cause melt-through, porosity, slag entrapment, and additional distortion
- Misalignment of parts can cause insufficient effective throat and stress concentration at the weld root
- Codes and specifications provide workmanship tolerances for bevel angle, root face thickness, and root openings
- Table 2 summarizes the dimensional errors and resulting weld discontinuities or defects
- Irregularities in the finished surface to be welded can lead to various weld discontinuities
- Sheared surfaces may lead to porosity, slag entrapment, and incomplete fusion
- Flame cut surfaces may lead to notches, irregularities, and slag adherence, causing discontinuities
- Plasma cutting can produce notches, dross, and oxide film, leading to weld discontinuities such as porosity
- Water jet cutting does not produce thermal changes or oxide formation, making it suitable for welding
- Welding on machine-cut surfaces requires the removal of lubricants to avoid weld discontinuities
- Codes, standards, and company welding procedures should always be consulted before cutting and material preparation begins
