Welding

Welding is a precise and skill-intensive process used across industries for joining metals. However, even skilled welders may encounter defects that compromise the strength, safety, or appearance of welded joints. This article explores a wide range of common and critical welding defects, their causes, and tips for prevention. 1. Cracks …

Nondestructive Testing (NDT) is a group of inspection techniques used to evaluate the properties of a material, component, or system without causing damage to the object being tested. Here are some common NDT methods: Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Radiographic Testing (RT) Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT) Liquid Penetrant Testing (LPT) Eddy Current …

Some welding processes resemble both soldering and brazing and molten metal is applied to produce a joint between the two pieces. However, in welding, the added metal is, more often than not, of similar composition to the metals being joined, and the joined pieces are melted locally so differences between …

Many hazards are associated with welding and cutting safety, but as in any other operations they can be controlled by appropriate preventive measures. Unless these measures are taken, the hazardous situations can easily give rise to personnel injury and/or material damage. Welding and cutting hazard examples are:- Electric shock Fumes …
