How To Prevent Weld Porosity [Video]

 

Porosity is a common defect that occurs when gas is trapped in the weld metal, with pores appearing either under or on the weld surface.

The most common causes of porosity can include:

  • Arc length too long
  • Dirty base metal
  • Inadequate gas coverage

These can be avoided by:

  • Ensuring proper arc length
  • Cleaning base metal
  • Checking for better coverage
