4-5. Excessive Penetration
Good Penetration
Excessive Penetration
−
weld metal
melting through base metal and
hanging underneath weld.
Excessive Penetration
Possible Causes
Corrective Actions
Excessive heat input.
Select lower amperage. Use smaller electrode.
Improper weld technique.
Adjust travel speed.
4-6. Burn-Through
Burn-Through
−
weld metal melting
completely through base metal
resulting in holes where no metal re-
mains.
Possible Causes
Corrective Actions
Excessive heat input.
Select lower amperage. Use smaller electrode.
Increase and/or maintain steady travel speed.
4-7. Waviness Of Bead
Waviness Of Bead
−
weld metal that
is not parallel and does not cover
joint formed by base metal.
Possible Causes
Corrective Actions
Unsteady hand.
Use two hands. Practice technique.
4-8. Distortion
Distortion
−
contraction of weld met-
al during welding that forces base
metal to move.
Base metal moves
in the direction of
the weld bead.
Possible Causes
Corrective Actions
Excessive heat input.
Use restraint (clamp) to hold base metal in position.
Make tack welds along joint before starting welding operation.
Predict anticipated weld distortion and precamber base metal.
Select lower amperage for electrode.
Increase travel speed.
Weld in small segments and allow cooling between welds.
