In steel parts processing, welding quality inspection is a critical step that directly affects the overall quality and safety of the parts. Below are the main aspects of welding quality inspection for steel parts, presented clearly and in sections, with reference to relevant numerical information from related articles:

 

Pre-Welding Inspection

Base Material and Welding Materials:
Check the material type, specifications, quality certificates, etc., of the steel and welding materials to ensure they meet design requirements and relevant standards.

Groove and Assembly:
Inspect the dimensions, shape, and cleanliness of the groove, as well as the gap and misalignment after assembly, to ensure they comply with welding process requirements.

Welding Equipment:
Check the performance and condition of welding equipment (e.g., welding machines, torches), as well as the supply of power and gases.

 

In-Process Welding Inspection

Welding Parameters:
Verify that welding parameters such as current, voltage, and welding speed are set correctly, and record the actual parameters used during welding.

Welding Operation:
Observe whether the welding operation is standardized, including welding angle, sequence, and weld bead overlap.

Interpass Cleaning:
Ensure that slag, spatter, and other impurities are promptly cleaned after each welding pass to guarantee the quality of subsequent layers.

Post-Welding Inspection

Visual Inspection:

The weld surface should be smooth and even, free from defects such as cracks, slag inclusions, or porosity.

Weld width and height should meet design requirements, with uniform transitions on both sides of the weld.

Check for unacceptable defects such as undercut, incomplete fusion, or root shrinkage.

Dimensional Inspection:
Use measuring tools to check deviations in weld dimensions and shape, ensuring compliance with drawing and specification requirements.

Nondestructive Testing (NDT):

For critical or complex welds, perform nondestructive testing such as X-ray or ultrasonic testing to detect internal defects.

Select the appropriate NDT method and proportion based on the weld grade and requirements. For example, Grade 1 welds should undergo 100% UT (Ultrasonic Testing), while Grade 2 welds may require 20% RT (Radiographic Testing).

Mechanical Performance Tests:
Conduct mechanical tests such as tensile tests or impact tests as needed to evaluate the strength and toughness of the weld.

 

Records and Reports

Welding Records:
Maintain detailed records of all welding parameters and inspection results for traceability and analysis.

Inspection Report:
Issue a comprehensive welding quality inspection report that clearly indicates the weld quality grade and any identified issues for user reference and use.
