I. Porosity
Cause; Contamination from moisture, rust, or oil on the surface, or improper shielding gas.
Remedy: Ensure proper cleaning and preheating of the base metal, use dry filler material, and maintain proper
shielding gas flow.
2. Cracks
Cause, High cooling rates, hydrogen embattlement or excessive welding stress Cause, High cooling rates, hydrogen
embrittlement or excessive welding stress
Remedy: Control the cooling rate by preheating and post-heating, use low hydrogen electrodes, and reduce welding
stress through proper techniques.
3 Incomplete Fusion
Cause, Insufficient heat or improper technique leading to the failure of the weld
metal to fuse completely with the base metal.
Remedy:`` Increase the willing current, reduce the welding speed, or change the welding technique to ensure proper
fusion.
4. Under cutting
Cause: Excessive heat or improper electrode manipulation leading to the formation of Groove along the weld toe.
Remedy: Adjust the welding parameters to reduce heat input, maintenance the correct electric angles and use proper
welding techniques to avoid undercut
5. Spatter
Cause: Excessive welding current or incorrect shielding gas, to the ejection of molten metal particles.
Remedy; Adjust the welding parameters use proper shielding gas, and ensure proper electrode angle and
techniq1uea to reduce spatter.+
