6.4.5 Weld defect precaution
The common defect of weld includes: cracks, incomplete penetration, incomplete fusion,
porosity, inclusions, concave, undercut, crater, over-burning. Any defect has a certain
degree of harm, which will result in brittle fracture and pipe burst, reduce the weld joint
strength, cause stress concentration and shorten the service life of component. Detail
prevention measures are as follows:
1) Crack prevention measures: select proper welding consumables, improve the
microstructure and plasticity of weld joint, and decrease the weld stress.
2) Incomplete penetration and incomplete fusion prevention measures: control the groove size
of connections, select relative higher welding current within the range of current, adopt
relative slower weld speed, adjust the angle of welding rode, and adopt preheating
measures.
3) Inclusions prevent measure: reduce the deposited weld layer thickness, so that the slag can
float on the surface of molten pool. Adjust the welding current, swing the welding rod and
stir molten pool regularly, so that the slag can be fully separated from metal of molten
pool.
4) Porosity prevention measures: do not use the welding rod with coating cracking, spalling,
deterioration, eccentricity and corrosion of the core. Welding rod shall be dried before use,
the dirt like oil, rust and etc. shall be removed from groove and welding wire. Proper
current, welding speed and arc length shall be selected, and the preheating measures shall
be adopted when the temperature of welding construction environment is too low.
5) Concave prevention measures: welding rod or wire shall stretch to groove root as far as
possible, and moved quickly to accelerate cooling of molten pool. When welding for
finishing layer, the smaller current shall be used to reduce the energy input.
6) Over-burning prevention measures: when argon arc welding, if the metal was over burnt,
the pipe inside shall be filled with argon to reinforce gas protection for welding.

elimination. For material of SA335-P11, SA335-P22, , treatment’ specification of
hydrogen elimination is recommended: heated to 300 ~ 350 ℃, holding for 2h.
6.4.7 NDT
General requirement on weld quality inspection: a) if the visual inspection for weld joint is
not accepted, other inspections shall not be carried out; b) if weld joint need heat treatment,
the NDT shall be carried out after heat treatment. NDT shall meets the requirement of
design document with reference to relevant codes, if welding consumables and
