Weld Inspection

Welding is used to join two metal surfaces and is a key manufacturing process found extensively in nearly every industry.  Typically forming part of a structural component, welds are designed to meet certain criteria but their strength can easily be compromised by defects including cracks, voids, lack of fusion and changes in density which can all lead to failure. Design codes detail acceptable defect sizes but welds must be regularly inspected to maintain the weld quality and integrity.
