We talk about type of welds & weld joints, the talk on welding will be incomplete if we don’t talk about weld defect!

Some weld defects are visible, some are visible with aide & some are invisible and need extra process to reveal them.

    I'm writing my Level 1 visual inspection ticket this Wednesday and I thought your pictures on weld defects/faults were very helpful! Thanks so much for posting!

    I am preparing for my CWB visual Inspection and found your pictures helpful. Maybe some explanation and to the differences between some of the similar defects like Undercut, Underhill and Incomplete penetration will be of further help. But I am very grateful.
