WELDING SYMBOLS
Elements of Welding Symbols: The first concepts the Welding Inspector must understand very well, are the welding symbols and how to interpret them on drawings. The reference line of the welding symbol, as shown below, is used to designate the type of weld to be…

Hardness Testing
Hardness Testing: Hardness is the resistance of a material to localized deformation. The term can apply to deformation from indentation, scratching, cutting or bending. In metals, ceramics and most polymers, the deformation considered is plastic deformation of the surface. For elastomers and some polymers, hardness is…

Welding of Stainless Steels
Welding of Stainless Steels: General Concepts: Stainless steels, resumed here in a general way, are defined as steel alloys, where the chromium content ranges from 10.5% to 30%. There are five distinct types of stainless steel:

NDT – Few Other Methods
Here are some rarely used NDT – Few Other Methods 1. Eddy Current Testing – ET: Eddy-current inspection uses electromagnetic induction to detect flaws in conductive materials. A circular coil carrying current is placed in proximity to the test specimen (electrically conductive). The alternating current in…

Weld Position- Fillet Welds
Fillet Weld Positions The advantage of the fillet-welded joint is that it’s unnecessary to prepare the edges of the plates or sheets for welding. Double fillet-welded joints are an improvement over single-fillet joints because they can withstand loads from more than one direction. Three of the…
