I am looking for advice on a weld repair. The fabricator is fabricating a fracture critical steel girder with butt welds in the flanges. During the inspection of one of the bottom flange butt welds, a slag inclusion was found. The fabricator proposed a repair to remove the slag inclusion and re-weld. The concept was proper and the repair was made and the weld tested again. Now the repaired weld has a slag inclusion which the fabricator is proposing to repair by the same procedure, except being more careful. Is it acceptable to remove and re-weld this splice again?
