Unveiling the Undercut in Welding Welding, a crucial industrial process, is not without its challenges. One such challenge that often goes unnoticed but can significantly compromise weld integrity is “undercut.” In this article, we’ll dive deep into the world of undercut in welding, exploring its causes, identification methods, impact on …

Purge Welding vs. Non-Purge Welding Introduction Definition of purge welding Purge welding is a welding technique that involves creating a protective gas atmosphere around the weld zone during the welding process. This is typically achieved by introducing an inert gas, such as argon, to displace the surrounding air. The purpose …

What is Percussion Welding? Introduction Percussion welding is a specialized welding technique that involves the joining of two workpieces through the application of high pressure and electrical energy. It is a solid-state welding process, meaning that it does not involve the melting of the base metals. Instead, percussion welding relies …

Welding Defects and their Types Introduction Welding defects are unacceptable imperfections that occur during the welding process. Weld quality depends on the mechanical properties of the materials, it can be quantitative or qualitative. Mostly “fit-for-service” approach is used i.e., the fabricated weld can perform the intended service. But in some …

Welding Joints and their Types Introduction Welding is a process of joining two or more metals. Welding is an ancient discovery of human beings. It has applications in almost every field of life. With the advancement in technology, advanced welding is being introduced day by day. Here in this article, …

Arc Welding Introduction Arc welding is a method of joining two or more metal parts together by using an electric arc to heat the surfaces to be joined. The electric arc is created between an electrode and the workpiece, which melts the metal and forms a weld pool. The weld …
