DEFINITION OF WELDING
“Welding is the process of joining together two pieces of metal so that bonding takes place at their original boundary surfaces”. When two parts to be joined are melted together, heat or pressure or both is applied and with or without added metal for formation of metallic bond.

Defects in welding
The lack of training to the operator or careless application of welding technologies may cause discontinuities in welding.
The Common weld defects include
Porosity
Lack of fusion
Inclusions
Cracking
Undercut
Lamellar tearing

Porosity
Porosity occurs, when the solidifying weld metal has gases trapped in it. The presence of porosity in most of the welded joints is due to dirt on the surface of the metal to be welded or damp consumables. It is found in the shape of sphere or as elongated pockets. The region of distribution of the porosity is random and sometimes it is more concentrated in a certain region. By storing all the consumables in dry conditions and degreasing and cleaning the surface before welding, porosity can be avoided.
Lack of Fusion
Due to too little input or too slow traverse of the welding torch, lack of fusion arises. By increasing the temperature, by properly cleaning the weld surface before welding and by selecting the appropriate joint design and electrodes, a better weld can be obtained. On extending the fusion zone to the thickness of the joints fully, a good quality joint can be obtained

9. O.R.KAVITHA/ CE 312/ DSS WELDING
Inclusions
Due to the trapping of the oxides, fluxes and electrode coating materials in the weld zone the inclusions are occurred. Inclusions occur while joining thick plates in several runs using flux cored or flux coated rods and the slag covering a run is not totally removed after every run and before the next run starts. By maintaining a clean surface before the run is started, providing sufficient space for the molten weld metal between the pieces to be joined, the inclusions can be prevented.

10. O.R.KAVITHA/ CE 312/ DSS WELDING
Cracking
Due to thermal shrinkage, strain at the time of phase change, cracks may occur in various directions and in various locations in the weld area. Due to poor design and inappropriate procedure of joining high residual stresses, cracking is observed. A stage-wise pre-heating process and stage-wise slow cooling will prevent such type of cracks. This can greatly increase the cost of welded joints. Cracks are classified as hot cracking and hydrogen induced cracking.
Undercutting
The undercut is caused due to incorrect settings or using improper procedure. Undercutting can be detected by a naked eye and the excess penetration can be visually detected.

11. O.R.KAVITHA/ CE 312/ DSS WELDING
Lamellar
Tearing Due to non metallic inclusions, the lamellar tearing occurs through the thickness direction. This is more evidently found in rolled plates. As the fusion boundary is parallel to the rolling plane in T and corner joints, the lamellar tearing occur. By redesigning the joint and by buttering the weld area with ductile material, the lamellar tearing can be minimized.

12. Welded joints and their advantages:
A welded joint has following advantages:
(i) Compared to other type of joints, the welded joint has higher efficiency. An efficiency > 95 % is easily possible.
(ii) Since the added material is minimum, the joint has lighter weight.
(iii) Welded joints have smooth appearances.
(iv) Due to flexibility in the welding procedure, alteration and addition are possible.
(v) It is less expensive.
(vi) Forming a joint in difficult locations is possible through welding.

Butt Joints
Butt joints: formed by placing the plates edge to edge and welding them. Grooves are sometimes cut (for thick plates) on the edges before welding. According to the shape of the grooves, the butt joints may be of different types, e.g.,
􀂾 Square butt joint
􀂾 Single V-butt joint, double V-butt joint
􀂾 Single U-butt joint, double U-butt joint
􀂾 Single J-butt joint, double J-butt joint
􀂾 Single bevel-butt joint, double bevel butt joint
