Description

Possible cause

Remedy

A gap is left by 

failure of the 

weld metal to 

fill the root of 

the weld

(a) Welding current 

is too low.
(b) Electrode too 

large for joint.
(c) Insufficient gap
(d) Incorrect 

sequence

(a) Increase 

welding current
(b) Use smaller 

diameter
electrode.
(c) Allow wider 

gap
(d) Use correct 

build-up 

sequence

Portions of 

the weld run 

do not fuse to 

the surface of 

the metal or 

edge of the 

joint.

(a) Small electrodes 

used on heavy cold 

plate
(b) Welding current 

is too low
(c) Wrong electrode 

angle
(d) Travel speed 

of electrode is too 

high
(e) Scale or dirt on 

joint surface

(a) Use larger 

electrodes and 

preheat the 

plate
(b) Increase 

welding current
(c) Adjust angle 

so the welding 

arc is directed 

more into the 

base metal
(d) Reduce 

travel speed of 

electrode
(e) Clean 

surface before 

welding.

Description

Possible cause

Remedy

Non-metallic 

particles 

are trapped 

in the weld 

metal (slag 

inclusion).

a) Non-metallic 

particles may 

be trapped in 

undercut from 

previous run
(b) Joint 

preparation too 

restricted
(c) Irregular 

deposits allow slag 

to be trapped.
(d) Lack of 

penetration with 

slag trapped 

beneath weld bead.
(e) Rust or mill 

scale is preventing 

full fusion.
(f) Wrong electrode 

for position in 

which welding is 

done.

a) If bad 

undercut is 

present, clean 

slag out and 

cover with 

a run from 

a smaller 

diameter 

electrode.
(b) Allow for 

adequate 

penetration 

and room for 

cleaning out 

the slag
(c) If very 

bad, chip or 

grind out 

Irregularities
(d) Use smaller 

electrode 

with sufficient 

current to 

give adequate 

penetration. 

adequate 

penetration. 

Use suitable 

tools to remove 

all slag from 

corners
(f) Use 

electrodes 

designed for 

position in 

which welding 

is done, 

otherwise 

proper control 

of slag is 

difficult.

TIG welding problems

Weld quality is dependent on the selection of the 

correct consumables, maintenance of equipment and 

proper welding technique.
