WELDING FAULTS  

 

 

FAULT 

POSSIBLE CAUSE & REMEDY 

Weld deposit 'stringy' and incomplete

 

1.  Torch moved over work piece too quickly 
2.  Gas mixture incorrect 
 

Weld deposit too thick

 

1.  Torch moved over work piece too slowly 
2.  Welding voltage too low 
 

Arc unstable

excessive spatter

 and weld porosity

 

1.  Torch held too far from the workpiece 
2.  Rust, grease or paint on workpiece 
3.  Insufficient shielding gas: check gas contents gauge, 

regulator setting and operation of gas valve 

 

W

ire 

repeatedly 

burn

s back

 

1.  Torch held too close to the workpiece 
2.  Intermittent break in the welding circuit caused by: 

i     Contact tip loose - tighten 
ii    Contact tip damaged 

– replace 

iii   Welding wire or liner corroded 

– replace wire or liner 

3.  Wire feed slipping cause by: 

i     Restriction in liner (such as kinks) or contact tip 

– check    

and replace if necessary 

ii    Worn feed rolls 

– replace 

iii   Guide tube or pressure roll alignments incorrect 

 

Burning holes in the 

workpiece

 

1.  Torch moved too quickly or erratically 
2.  Welding volts too high 
3.  Wire feed speed too high 
 

Lack of penetration

 

1.  Torch moved too fast 
2.  Welding volts too low 
3.  Wire feed speed too low 
 

 

SPOT WELDING FAULTS 

 

FAULT

 

POSSIBLE CAUSE & REMEDY

 

Insufficient penetration 

1.  Spot weld time too short 
2.  Gap between metals to be joined too wide 
3.  Switch position too low 
4.  Welding settings too low 

 

Holes burnt through workpiece 

1.  Spot weld time too long 
2.  Gap between metals to be joined too wide 
3.  Weld is too close to the edge of the material 
4.  Welding settings too high 

 

Wire sticks to contact tip or workpiece at end of the weld 

1.  Burn off time incorrect 

– expert assistance required since 

burn back must be accurately timed 
 

Wire burns back 

1.  Poor gas coverage 
2.  Burn back time incorrect
