    The document discusses welding and common welding defects. It explains that the purpose of welding is to join two metals by fusing them at their interface, forming a metallurgical bond with a smooth microstructural transition across the weldment. It lists the most common welding defects as porosity, slag inclusions, excess penetration, incomplete fusion, undercut, inadequate joint penetration, cracking, and welding debris.

    WELDING DEFECTS

    WELDING
    The purpose of a weld is to join two metals by
    fusion them at their interfaces.
    A metallurgical bond is formed that provides
    smooth, uninterrupted microstructural transition
    across the weldment
    The weldment should be free of significant
    porosity and nonmetallic inclusions, from
    smoothly flowing surface contours with the
    section being joined, be free of significant
    residual welding stressess.

    COMMON WELDING
    DEFECTS

    1. POROSITY
    2. SLAG INCLUSIONS
    3. EXCESS PENETRATION
    4. INCOMPLETE FUSION
    5. UNDER CUT
    6. INADEQUATE JOINT PENETRATION
    7. CRACKING
    8. WELDING DEBRIS
