Undercutting is a defect that appearsas a groove in the parent metal directly a;ong the edges of the weld it is most common in lap fillet welds, but can also be encountered in fillet and butt joints. This type of defect is most commonly caused by improper welding parameters, particularly the travel speed and arc voltage

Explain the principle behind arc welding.?

Arc welding uses an electrical current to create enough heat to melt metal. Any type of welding that uses an electric arc is technically arc welding. However, most people use the term 'arc welding' to mean shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), or 'stick welding'. SMAW, MIG, and flux core wire welding use the filler metal as both electrode and filler; TIG welding uses an electric arc to heat the base metal and a separate filler rod to add metal to the weld.


What is the welding defects for MIG welding?

You can find pretty much all welding defects in Mig welding. There are some that are morelikely to appear than others but that is depending on the gas and power range that is being applied. The defects are: porosity, incomplete penetration (mostly in case of short circuit transfer) undercut, excessive concavity/convexity (incorrect amperage/voltage ratio), cracks (cold and hot) incomplete fusion (wrong torch angles), cold lap.
