Why Welds Fail

There are many reasons a weld can fail, but generally, weld failures can be attributed to a few causes that can be mitigated with experience and the right process approach.

Welding Difficult and Dissimilar Metals

Critical applications often require metals with special properties. Often, those properties make welding more challenging. Metallurgy, the right welding process, and experience go a long way toward meeting the challenge.

Test to the Application, Not the Specification

Proper testing lies not in the specification but in the application. Too much testing can be costly and unnecessary. Too little testing, or testing only to the standard, can leave you with parts that don’t perform in the application. The right testing follows the requirements of the application.
