Undercut: Fabrication related issue that may lead to service related failure

Hello Daniel, Last week we discussed two types of welding defects: Fabrication related defects and service related defects. Today we will show how these two can be combined into a single catastrophic incident. Undercut is a welding (fabrication) discontinuity. On its owns it hardly ever creates a problem. However, when combined with cyclic loading once […]

2 Types of Welding Related Defects

As welding professionals, we strive for strong, sound welded connections that stand the test of time. However, the reality is that welds, like any manufactured component, can be susceptible to imperfections. These imperfections, often referred to as defects, can happen during the welding process itself or manifest later during the service life of the welded […]
