A. Introduction Presentation
Panimula 1 hour In this lesson, you will discover the knowledge, skills and attitudes in performing Weld
Carbon Steel Plates in Vertical Position (3G). It is important to learn the visual
inspection on the finished weldment in accordance with welding standards.
Visual inspection is probably the most underrated, and often misused, method of
welding inspection. Because of its simplicity, and the absence of sophisticated
equipment, the potential of this method of inspection is quite often underestimated.
Visual inspection of welding can often be the easiest to perform and is usually the
least expensive to conduct. If carried out correctly, this type of inspection can often
be an extremely effective method of maintaining acceptable welding quality and
preventing welding problems. There are many areas within the welding operation
that can be verified and evaluated by this method of inspection.

This inspection is conducted prior to the start of the welding operation. This type
of inspection is typically associated with checking the preparation of the welding joint
and verification of parameters that would be difficult or impossible to confirm during
or after welding. This is the area of inspection where we can best introduce controls
that may prevent defective welding. Some areas of pre-weld inspection are joint
preparation inspection/pre-weld setup. This may involve the dimensional inspection
of root openings. Root openings that are too tight can cause inadequate root
penetration. Root openings that are too large can cause over- penetration. Groove
weld bevel angles, if too small, may cause lack of fusion, and if too large, can result
in distortion of the weld joint from overheating and excessive shrinkage stress. Joint
alignment (misalignment of the weld joint) can result in difficulty in producing a sound
weld and stress concentration at its location, resulting in a reduction of fatigue life.
Plate surface condition and cleanliness, pre-cleaning prior to welding, can often be
of extreme importance. Improper or inadequate cleaning can result in unacceptable
levels of porosity in the completed weld. Other pre-weld inspections may include
preheat verification, temperature and heating method, presence and location of
heat treatment monitoring devices, and type and efficacy of gas purging, if
applicable.
Visual inspection that is carried out during the welding operation and is concerned
mainly with the requirements of the welding procedure specification (WPS). This
inspection includes such items as interpass cleaning methods, interpass temperature
control, welding current settings, welding travel speed, shielding gas type, gas flow
rate, and welding sequence,

Learning Task # 1:
Directions: Identify if the given phrase is a TIPS FOR VISUAL INSPECTION on the
weldment or not by putting if it is and if it is not. Write your answer on
separate sheet of paper.

1. Look at the weld position and how it corresponds to the specification. Watch the
vertical
direction of travel.
2. Does the procedure align with local codes and the weld specification?
3. Not check drawings.
4. Do the materials purchased match the specification for base metal size and
type?
5. Check materials for defects. Look for contaminants such as rust, scale, mill,
lamination etc.
6. Are materials prepared for correct angles?
7. Check use of pre heat to slow the cooling rate and to minimize distortion.
8. Ignore each weld pass.
9. Ensure the weld is cleaned properly between each pass.
10. Determine if spatter is at acceptable levels.

Learning Task # 3:
 Direction: Read the statement carefully and identify what is being described or
defined. Choose your answer from the words inside the box. Write your answer on
separate sheet of paper.
1. This term is used to describe the failure of the filler and base metal to fuse
together
at the root of the joint.
2. The failure of a welding process to fuse together layers of weld metal or weld
metal and base metal.
3. Globular pockets of metallic oxides and other solids compounds.
4. The presence of pockets that do not contain any solid material.
5. The burning away of the base metal at the toe of the weld.
Porosity. Lack Of Fusion, Slag Inclusions, Undercutting, Incomplete
Penetration

D. Assimilation 1 hour A good pre-weld inspection plan may provide us with an excellent opportunity to
Paglalapat prevent welding problems before they start, through the detection and correction of
situations that may cause welding problems or welding discontinuities.
Inspection conducted during the welding operation can often detect problems
before they escalate and also helps to provide confidence in the final welded
product.
These discontinuities are generally detected through visual inspection of the weld,
however, some are detectable through other inspection methods such as
radiography, liquid penetrant, and magnetic particle inspection. The maximum
acceptable limitations associated with these discontinuities is dependent on the
performance requirements of the welded component and is usually specified in the
appropriate welding code, standard or specification. The welding inspector is often
required to determine the extent of these discontinuities and to establish their
acceptance, or rejection, based on the relevant acceptance criteria.
