Welding inspection terms
Welding inspection terms
(OP)
We received a Structural Steel report. Can someone direct me to a reference that will show the following:
1. The weld was unacceptable due to overlap. Overlap
2. The weld was unacceptable due to being underfilled.
3. Excessive undercut.
Thanks

Overlap is the protrusion of the weld metal beyond the weld toe or weld root.
Underfill is a condition in which the weld face or root surface extends below the adjacent surface of the base metal
Undercut is a groove melted into the base metal adjacent to the weld toe or weld root and left unfilled by weld metal.
