MSS SP55 - Type XI - cause?
MSS SP55 - Type XI - cause?
(OP)
Hey all,
I'm writing a corrective action report for a Type XI plate d failure. From looking at the picture in the book it seems that this failure is caused by the weld not being ground smooth after the weld is laid down. Is that correct? Or is it incomplete fusion? I really hate this spec, it's so subjective.
The failure is inside a bolt hole.
How should I address this problem, besides just looking for "ugly weld repairs" and fixing them. The failure is inside a bolt hole on the flange.
Attached is the sample image from the MSS book, in case u dont have it handy.
Thanks

The plates are intending to show 'excessive' reinforcement and 'excessive' ripple.

As a layman trying to explain this to people even less knowledgeable I'd like to have something more specific than saying "he didn't follow the wps". Even if it's an over simplification.
