A Welding Procedure solved the problems.

A Company contacted us because they were producing components which were regularly failing radiographic examination.

We firstly checked that they were using the right process and doing everything correctly.

On further examination it was noticeable that welders techniques, parameters etc. varied and it was observed that some welders had more success than others. Our suggestion was to carry out a welding procedure test even though there was no requirement for this. This was successfully done so a Welding Procedure Specification was raised for the welders to follow and the failure rate dropped dramatically.

Changing the Specification solved the problem.

A company were having problems with welds cracking between a casting and low carbon steel component. On analysis of the casting it was found to be almost unweldable. So we asked the company if it was necessary to have the casting in this material. It turned out that it was not necessary so the casting material was changed and the welds stopped cracking.
