What is porosity on metal welding?

Weld porosity is gas formations that did not escape prior to the weld solidification. These gases can be formed from water (which breaks down to hydrogen and oxygen atoms), oil, paint, rust or many other contaminants. The welding contamination can be on your welding materials as well as on the base metal (damp welding electrodes, etc.).

What is buttering process in metal fabrication?

Buttering is the process of applying a layer of weld metal to a base material before performing the final weld. It helps to improve the bond between the base metal and the final weld metal, ensuring better strength, corrosion resistance, and overall quality of the weld joint. Buttering is commonly used in metal fabrication to prevent issues like cracking and to ensure a more uniform weld.


How do you calculate interpass temperature in welding?

Interpass temperature is the maximum temperature a weldment should be allowed to reach between weld passes. If a pass is completed and the temperature is in excess of the interpass, it should be allowed to cool before continuing.

What does porosity in a weld means?

Porosity in welding is a result of dissolved gases or gases released during the welding process, being trapped in the metal when there is insufficient time to escape prior to solidification. If in the shape of rounded holes, the gas is called spherical porosity or just porosity. However, if elongated the terminology is wormholes or piping. Causes of porosity are;excessively long or short arc lengthwelding current too highinsufficient or moist shielding gastravel speed to fastbase metal covered with oil, grease, moisture etc.wet, unclean or damaged electrodes.


What it is the difference between before and prior to?
