    Visual Weld Inspection Work Instruction

    Uploaded by

    Agustín Antonio Flores Romero
    This work instruction provides visual acceptance criteria for weld inspections. It is intended as a training and reference document when other standards have not been specified by the customer. Visual inspection alone does not guarantee a weld was applied properly or has full penetration. The criteria in this document apply to all of Superior Industries' products unless another specification has been agreed upon with the customer. The document includes a table outlining inspection criteria for issues like cracks, fusion, crater cross section, weld profiles, undercut, porosity, missed welds, tack welds, spatter, wrapped welds, pin holes, and flare bevel weld size based on material thickness.

    Visual Weld

    Inspection Work
    Instruction
    Introduction

    This work instruction is intended to provide a reference for visual weld quality. It may be
    used as training or shop floor reference. When a customer has not required another
    standard to be used this standard can be applied for acceptance of weld workmanship.

    Inspectors should always be aware that visual inspection of a weld does not ensure the
    weld was applied properly or will have full penetration. This work instruction shall be
    used in conjunction with appropriate process control measures.

    Application

    The visual acceptance criteria provided in this manual is applicable to all product
    manufactured by Superior Industries unless another specification has been agreed on
    with our customer. Where another specification has been agreed on, that specification
    overrules the inspection criteria listed in this document.

    Visual Inspection Acceptance Criteria Table

    Criteria Inspection Criteria Example


    Common Name

    Crack Prohibition Any Crack shall be unacceptable,


    ● Cold regardless of size or location.
    Cracking
    Weld/Base Metal Complete fusion shall exist
    Fusion between adjacent layers of weld
    ● Cold Lap metal and between weld metal
    ● Overlap and base metal. No amount of
    cold lap is allowed regardless of
    length or location.

    Crater All craters shall be filled to provide


    Cross Section the specified weld size. No pin
    ● Weld crater holes within the crater are
    acceptable.

    Weld Profiles ● Butt Welds: Will not


    exceed ⅛” convexity
    above weld metal. The
    width of the weld shall not
    exceed twice the material
    thickness.

    Weld Profile (Cont.) ● Butt Welds - No amount of


    concavity is acceptable.
    Fillet Weld Profile ● Weld throat can be no less
    that than the thinnest
    material of the weldment.
    50% is required when
    welding on both sides of
    the fillet.

    FIllet Weld Profile ● Lap Welds


    (Cont.)

    Fillet Weld Profile ● Corner Welds


    (Cont.)

    Undercut Undercut shall not exceed 1/32”


    ● Undercut deep and 1” long in length up to
    an accumulated length of 16” of
    weld

    Porosity No visible (or non-visible) porosity


    ● Porosity is allowed regardless of size or
    location
    Missed Welds All missed welds are
    unacceptable regardless of point
    of recognition in manufacturing
    process

    Tack Welds All tack welds shall be welded


    through, no visible tack welds are
    acceptable

    Spatter No more than 1 bead of spatter


    per 1 square inch of visible weld
    area

    Wrapped Welds All corner to corner and radial


    welds will be wrapped leaving no
    visible appearance of voids or
    discontinuities.
    Pin Holes Visual pinholes are allowable at
    no more than one pinhole every
    12” of weld. This will be totalled
    over a measurement of multiple
    welds in an area.

    Flare Bevel Weld Flare Bevel Weldment size will be


    Size determined based off of wall
    thickness of square tube (or other
    radial structured members).

    Flare Bevel Weld Number of passes of weld will be


    Size; Cont. determined upon wall thickness of
    structural tube;

    ● 3/16” - 1/4” wall thickness


    ○ One Pass
    Flare Bevel Weld Number of passes of weld will be
    Size; Cont. determined upon wall thickness of
    structural tube;

    ● 5/16” wall thickness


    ○ Two Passes

    Flare Bevel Weld Number of passes of weld will be


    Size; Cont. determined upon wall thickness of
    structural tube;

    ● 3/8” - 1/2“ wall thickness


    ○ Three Passes

    Flare Bevel Weld Open flare bevel welds must be


    Size - Cont. welded flush across the plane of
    the weld. No undercut or underfill
    Open Flare Bevel is allowable.
