Introduction
Trainers background info 15Years in Welding Inspection by Visual and NDT Heavy Equipment Fabrication Construction equipment Trainer in Manufacturing Quality, QMS, Six sigma Green Belt, TPM Facilitator, Quality Circle Team Leader, Welding Quality, NDT Ultrasonic testing and Quality concept.

WELDING THEORY
Welding is joining two pieces of materials. Solid+solid Welding = Solid state bonding Liquid+Liquid welding=Fusion Welding Solid+Liquid Welding=Braze Welding Oxy-Aceteline=Gas Welding Thermit = Atomic hydrogen=

Electron Beam Welding Laser Welding

ELECTRODE DAMAGE & INFLUANCE

Absorbtion or loss Moisture Cracking & discaling covering Contamination Oxidation of the cored wire Formation of deposits on the surface

Absorbtion or loss Moisture & INFLUANCE

Porosity in weld metal Excessive Projection Spattering arc instability Visual worsening of seam suface Scouring / Blistering in cellulose coating Difficulty in removing slag Cracking caused by hydrogen

Weldments - Symbols and Drawing Practices

DWGA130 Overview (Cont.)

Primary Reference ISO 2553:1992 Secondary References AWS A2.4:1998

Welding Symbol, Weld Symbol

FIGURE 1: Elements of a Welding Symbol

Elementary Weld Symbols

Most common are fillet, square groove and flare bevel weld joints

Supplementary Weld Symbols

Contour symbols not used much in the past

Weld Symbol Orientation

Reference lines and weld symbol details remain the same regardless of which end the arrow is on.

Weld Both Sides

Appropriate weld symbols above and below reference lines. Dashed line not required where the weld joint is exactly symmetric.

Combined Weld Symbols

More than one weld type. Size specified individually for each.

Fillet Weld Size

Required minimum weld size dimension (mm)
z = leg dimension a = throat dimension

Butt/Groove Weld Size

Required minimum throat dimension (mm) No direct measurement requires destructive test and evaluation

Intermittent Weld Dimensions

ISO vs AWS (App 2) Size convention is the same Number and length of segments Spacing between segments vs AWS ctr to ctr method

Symmetric Intermittent Weld

Same weld symbol and dimensions both sides Dashed line not required Anchor welds at each end

Staggered Intermittent Weld

Usually specified to avoid weld distortion or interference Offset dimension specified in detail vs default Anchor welds standard shop practice

Z denotes staggered intermittent weld

Intermittent Weld on Circular Part

If necessary, start location must clearly be identified Weld size Number and length of segments Spacing between segments (chord dimension)

Weld All Around

Simplified details Exactly the same joint conditions and welds all the way around

Testing methods
Visual inspection
Destructive Mechanical, Chemical, Testing

Ultrasonic Testing

DP Testing , MPT,ECT, X-RAY AET,LEAK, NRT,

Circumferentia l Butt Weld Inspection

ll welds shall be inspected. A weld subject to inspection shall be acceptable if inspection shows: a) No surface cracks b) No Visible lack of fusion between welds and base metal c) No craters
Repairable

d) Uniform Weld profiles e) That frequency of visible porosity in fillet welds does not exceed one in each 100 mm of length and the maximum diameter does not exceed 2.4 mm That groove welds have no visible porosity. g) Undercut is not more than 0.5 mm deep.
