What are examples of various defects in fusion welds. Defects are common phenomenon in any manufacturing process. With control of welding process parameters the molten slag will float to the surface of the molten weld metal and thus will not become entrapped. Classification of defects according to their appearance.

The various types of external defects with their causes and remedies are listed below. Welding defects are generated in a welding job due to the faulty or poor technique used by the inexperienced or unskilled welder or due to fundamental difficulties in the welding operation. External defects are irregular width of welding beads deviation of the weld from the prescribed dimension unfilled craters on the surface of welds undercuts slag on the surface of welds porosity in the outer layer of a weld visible cracks in and around the welds. Undercut in which a portion of the base metal part is melted away.
