Weld defect analysis

Weld defect analysis training: learn to detect, classify and prevent defects such as cracks, porosity, inclusions and lack of fusion — visually, with break tests and non-destructive testing.

Get the defects out of your welds!

WHAT DOES THIS WELD DEFECT ANALYSIS TRAINING COVER?

Weld defects or imperfections are flaws that occur during the welding process.

Common defects are cracks, porosity, solid inclusions, lack of fusion, incomplete penetration and geometric deviations.

In this training you apply a defect analysis to your own welds in a hands-on way.

We inspect defects in sample pieces both visually, with break tests and with non-destructive testing.

During welding the material is rapidly heated and cooled again, which results in shrinkage, stresses and structural changes.

Frequently asked questions

What is weld defect analysis?

Weld defect analysis is about detecting, classifying and explaining weld imperfections such as cracks, porosity, inclusions and lack of fusion. You learn to assess and prevent defects visually, with break tests and non-destructive testing.

Who is this training for?

For welders, weld inspectors and supervisors who need to assess or improve weld quality. Welding experience is an advantage but not a strict requirement.

Can I follow this training in-company?

Yes. Normec Praxis delivers this training on-site and tailored to your welds and materials.
