Lack of Fusion
Lack of fusion is the poor adhesion of the weld
bead to the base metal. If the weld heat was not
high enough, the metals being welded together
may not have become molten during the welding
process and the two pieces did not join.

Under Cutting
Welding along a line or using an arc voltage that is
too low can produce a groove or a slight ditch in
the metal right along the weld line. This is known
as undercutting.

Pinholes
Welding defect caused by the high welding
temperatures is known as Pinholes. If the
temperature of arc making of the weld is very high,
then tiny holes resembling pin holes may appear
on the surface of the weld.

Cracking
This defect typically occurs because the welder was
using the wrong type of wire electrode to make the
weld. A combination of poor design and
inappropriate procedure may result in high
residual stresses and cracking.

Misalignment

Gas Inclusions
Gas inclusions is also a defect that includes porosity,

Craters
Crater cracks occur when a crater is not filled
before the arc is broken. This causes the outer
edges of the crater to cool more quickly than the
crater, which creates sufficient stresses to form a
crack.

Overlapping
The protrusion of weld metal beyond the weld toe
or weld root. It is caused by poor welding
techniques and can generally be overcome by an
improved weld procedure. The overlap can be
repaired by grinding off excess weld metal and
surface grinding smoothly to the base metal.
