Hey everyone long time since I have been on. I have been super busy teaching and working.
I have here a very large weld analysis job I just wrapped up. I ended up sampling over 150 welds, each weld 2 sides, a photo for each side and writing 150 reports so my mind is slightly lost. The good news is I couldn't have ended up with better example photos from doing all this. I organized them from GTAW and GMAW. There is A LOT of lack of root fusion, excessive penetration, under bead cracking, large cracks, fine cracks, suck back and they are all in great detail so I hope you all enjoy! ALL ALUMINUM! let me know what you think!
