What are the different types of weld defects?
We can break down weld defects into the following main categories:
- Inclusions.
- Lack of fusion.
- Porosity.
- Undercut.
- Under-fill.
- Cracks.
- Excess reinforcement and excess penetration.
- Over-roll/Overlap.
What are the five welding defects?
Most defects encountered in welding are due to an improper welding procedure. Once the causes are determined, the operator can easily correct the problem. Defects usually encountered include incomplete penetration, incomplete fusion, undercutting, porosity, and longitudinal cracking.
What is the most common weld defect?
Cracks
Cracks – Cracks are the most common defects and they can occur anywhere on the surface of the weld material. Some cracks can also be present inside the weld material especially on areas that are affected by direct heat (HAZ).
How many welding defects are there?
There are three types: check cracks, root cracks, and full centerline cracks. Check cracks are visible from the surface and extend partially into the weld. They are usually caused by high shrinkage stresses, especially on final passes, or by a hot cracking mechanism.
What is a cold weld defect?
LACK OF FUSION Lack of fusion, also called cold lapping or cold shuts, occurs when there is no fusion between the weld metal and the surfaces of the base plate. This defect can be seen in Figure 10-2. The most common cause of lack of fusion is a poor welding technique.
What is MIG welding defects?
Typical weld defects found in MIG welding are lack of fusion and penetration, craters and cracks, undercut, burn-through, and porosity in the weld metal.
What is a Defect list?
A defect list is exactly what the name suggests, it is a list of items, made by the client or the builder and client alike, that determine what is required to be finished.

What is Defect and its types?
Types of Defects in Solids. Stoichiometric Defect. Schottky Defect. Frenkel Defect. Impurity Defects.
How many types of solid defects are there?
Types of Point Defects in Solids There exist 3 types of point defects, which are listed below: Stoichiometric defect. Frenkel defect. Schottky defect.
