Basic test is to cut across the weld and polish the metal. Most times the weld can be seen as a different shade. Inclusions and incomplete fusion are visible You can cut strips across the weld joint and bend them to look for fracturing. Ultimate test is to x-ray the weld. Defects and incomplete fusion can be seen. Same process as an x-ray of your body. Also a section can be cut from the joint and subjected to a tensile test where the piece is literally pulled apart. A good weldor knows when he has produced a perfect weld just by observing the weld bead as it is deposited. Using the correct electrode produces a weld slightly stronger than the base metal.

Is mig welding better than gas welding in terms of strength?
It depends on what metal you are welding and how thick it is, but in general, no. Any process that will raise enough heat for adequate weld penetration is for the most part equal.
What factor mainly defect welding depth in electron beam welding?
Many factors affect welding depth and penetration, including voltage, material being welded, current, distance from electron gun, vacuum, cleanliness, filament current, and focus.
What is the process of underwater welding?
Underwater welding uses a special flux around the welding rod which produces gasses which form a bubble around the end of the rod ,excluding the water. It is difficult and never as strong, lacking penetration. It is only used when absolutly necessary.
Why is welding in the downward position an advantage when welding on sheet metal?
Verticle down welding will always have lower penetration and less heat applied to the weld joint. As sheet metal is thinner and can not take excessive heat, verticle down reduces burn-through.
What is downhill welding?
MY question is (WHAT IS DOWNHILL WELDING) The correct term is Down Hand Welding. Most welds in the vertical position are made from bottom to top. Down Hand means welding from the top to bottom. These welds are usually made on thin metal as the heat input is lower, thereby reducing penetration/burn thru.

Why use stitch welding?
Stitch welding, also known as a Staggard welding, is the process of welding to base materials in many short sections. This process gives a weld less strength, but usually keeps the material from warping too much since you use half as much heat. When strength is critical, full penetration welds may be necessary and it is best to have the material well clamped to a solid surface.
How strong mig welding is?
it kind of welding for welding thin sextodecimos with depth and influence in places where welding company's and pullulation bed with a good quality for other fashion seems to be appropriate. If you are asking "how do you determine the tensile strength of MIG welding?" The aswer is it is stated on the box and spool. The number 70 means 70,000 lbs tensile strength same as the 70 in 7018 electrodes.
The welding between the end cap and the piping system to be tested can be partial penetration joint?
It depends on the specification.
What factor mainly defect welding depth in electron beam welding?
Many factors affect welding depth and penetration, including voltage, material being welded, current, distance from electron gun, vacuum, cleanliness, filament current, and focus.
Is arc welding stronger than mig welding?
Using the correct procedures and filler material they can both have the same strength. P.S. both are considered "arc welding"
Joint efficiency of weld?
In welding, the ratio of the strength of a joint to the strength of the base metal expressed in percent.----

What is difference between full strength butt weld and full penetration butt weld?
a weld that does exactly what it sounds like, the molten metal that is created when welding is created all the way through the materials being welded. for example, if it is a 1/16th inch steel plate, a full penetration weld would create a molten bead from the front to the back of the plate. A full pin weld is when u have a bevel on one side that u weld first flip it over arc air gouge the other side and weld that side up
List two ways to reduce excessive penetration in welding?
1 Increase travel speed 2 lower amperage setting.
What is the use of up hill welding and down hill welding?
Vertical up welding is preferred in most instances as better penetration is achieved and the slag does not run down into the arc. Down hand welding is mostly used on thin material so as not to burn thru the metal. Travel speed is usually increased also.
