Surface defects, commonly referred to as appearance defects, are issues visible on the exterior of a workpiece. These can include undercuts, burn-through, pits, weld spatters, and uneven weld profiles. Each defect has specific causes and solutions that can help improve the welding process.
An undercut occurs when there's a depression along the weld toe where the base material meets the weld bead. This happens because the base material isn't sufficiently fused due to factors like excessive current, improper welding gun angles, or an overly long arc. To address this, it’s essential to correct your welding posture, adjust the welding speed, and ensure proper arc length. Additionally, switching from DC to AC welding when dealing with fillet welds can mitigate undercuts.
Burn-through happens when the weld melts through the base material, causing molten metal to flow out of the backside of the workpiece. This often results from using too much current, welding too slowly, or having large gaps in the joint. To prevent this, optimize your current settings, increase your welding speed, and minimize joint gaps. Pulse welding can also be effective in preventing burn-through.
Pits are indentations found on the surface or back of the weld, typically caused by rapid wire retraction during arc extinguishing. These are more common in backward and horizontal welding. Using a welding machine with a current decay system, ensuring a flat welding environment, and allowing the wire to remain briefly in the molten pool before extinguishing the arc can help eliminate these pits.
Weld spatters occur when molten metal fills an unmelted section of the base material or drips below the weld, creating solidified metal masses. Causes include excessive welding currents, rapid wire melting, unstable power supplies, and poor-quality welding rods. To resolve this, maintain the weld in a flat position, choose appropriate welding parameters, and ensure proper operator technique.
Uneven weld profiles involve irregularities in the weld surface, where certain areas might be excessively high or low due to high temperatures causing deformation. This issue arises from improper bevel angles, inconsistent assembly gaps, inappropriate welding currents, and uneven torch movement. To improve this, adjust the bevel angles and gaps, select suitable welding parameters, and control the torch's speed and angle. Pre-clamping or tack welding before starting the main weld can also help prevent deformations.
Each defect requires careful attention and precise adjustments to ensure high-quality welds. Proper training and understanding of these issues can significantly enhance welding outcomes.
