WELD JOINT TYPES

Tee Joint Lap Joint Corner Joint

1. WELDING PROCEDURE FOLLOWED? PROCEED (P) OR RE-DO (R) OR FAIL (F)

• Correct welding process • Proper base metal
• Electrode/Filler metal (type & size) • Welding position
• Joint design/Fit-up & Preparation • Technique
• Power source settings • Stringer or weave bead
• Number of passes • Within specified time limit

2. WELD SIZE/10: (LEG AND THROAT SIZE)

• Insufficient leg size scores zero, +2mm leg size -1point per 10mm. (3/8”)
• Insufficient throat scores zero, convexity of +3mm (1/8”) scores zero

3. UNDERCUT/10:
• Deduct 2 points/ 3mm (1/8”) length, over 0.5mm. (0.02”) deep.
• Undercut 1mm (1/32”) deep, OR total length exceeding 25mm (1”) fails complete assembly.

4. POROSITY/10:
• Deduct 1 point/pore larger than .5mm (1/32”)

5. OVERLAP/10:
• Deduct 3 points/3mm. (1/8”)
• Total length exceeding 20mm fails complete assembly.

6. LACK OF FUSION/10:
• Deduct 5 points/5mm (3/16”) length

7. ARC STRIKES/10:
• Deduct 5 points/arc strike

8. APPEARANCE/10:
• Squareness, Weld Terminations (Start/Stop), Excess spatter, Clean-up

9. DESTRUCTIVE TEST /10 (OPTIONAL): (SLAG, INCOMPLETE FUSION, POROSITY)

• Discontinuities greater than 1mm (1/32) Deduct 1point/mm.
• Single discontinuities exceeding 3mm (1/8), OR cumulative length exceeding 10mm (3/8”) fails complete assembly.

GUIDELINES:
• Options to be identified by institution: Ability to repair welds, Use of power tools,
Procedure for preparation of weld coupon for bending, Ability and procedures for retests
• Observations: Safety, PPE, Follows instruction properly, proper use of equipment, professionalism, works well with others
Above Expectations (AE) or Acceptable (A) or Needs Improvement (NI)

6. INCOMPLETE/EXCESSIVE PENETRATION/10:
• Incomplete penetration OR penetration exceeding 3.2mm (1/8) deduct 10 points

7. ARC STRIKES OR WHISKERS (Un-melted filler wire fused to root)/10:

• Deduct 5points/arc strike. Whiskers deduct 1 point each

8. APPEARANCE/10:
• Squareness, Weld Terminations (Start/Stop), Excess spatter, Clean-up

• Slag, incomplete fusion, porosity
• Discontinuities greater than 1mm (1/32) Deduct 1 point /mm.
• Maximum allowable discontinuity on corners is 3mm (1/8”) each direction, provided no internal discontinuity is found.
• Single discontinuities exceeding 3mm (1/8), OR cumulative length exceeding 10mm (3/8) fails complete assembly.
