Repair procedure

The abutting surfaces of the link and stud to be welded are to be ground to produce a good fit with an
acceptable root gap to prevent cracking. The surfaces are to be free from moisture, grease, rust etc., just
prior to welding.

NDE to check that the link is free from cracks is to be performed before welding at Surveyor satisfaction.
Welding consumables are to be dried adequately prior to welding in accordance with manufacturer’s
recommendation.

In general the stud should be welded at the end opposite to the flash butt weld of the link and it should be
welded completely around the circumference.

All weld stop-starts shall be grounded to remove any defects and to blend smoothly with the base material.

All welds are subjected to visual examination and NDE. For Q3 chain cables, inspection is recommended to
be delayed for at least 48 hours after the weld has cooled to ambient temperature.
Studs should be located in the links centrally and at right angles to the sides of the link.
