Best Answer

The most common problems are burn-through, atmospheric contamination, and inadequate penetration. Burn-through (as it's name suggests) is when the metals become too hot and create holes or gaps in the weld joint. Burn-through is most often caused by excessive power through the arc. Atmospheric contamination (most commonly oxidization) occurs when there is not enough shielding from the air to protect the weld and atmospheric gases bond to the metal and weaken the weld. Inadequate penetration is caused by insufficient power in the arc resulting in a temperature too cool to effectively join the metal together.

What is the importance of welding in engineering?

There is a tremendous importance of welding in engineering, there are even such things as welding engineers ( I am one). Welding is what holds the majority of structures together--bridges, cars, tractors, cranes, buildings, etc...If any engineer does not have a good understand of this very popular joining process major problems can exist, such as failures from designing a joint that is un-weldable. Most companies these days are trying to hire welding engineers to help with these problems. Welding can get very specialized with more technical metals and applications.
