A weld is covered with slag - the material used to protect the arc - after welding is completed. It can be chipped off with a sharp tool or brushed off. A weld is usually rippled on the surface and is not usually smooth. The best way to polish it is to use a soft brush of some type.

What are two effects that joint design has on the completed weld?

I am not sure but I would assume two things about joint design and its effect on the weld and visa versa: penetration and overall strength of the weld would depend greatly on what grove you are welding in or on and the amount of distortion would vary greatly depending on how large of root opening and weld size etc.

How do you check the welding penetration and welding strength?

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.
