1. name any two planar defects you found on the visual examination of plate?

Ans: Undercut, Lack of Side Wall Fusion.

How do these defects occur?
Undercut:

High Current,
Travel Speed too High
Long arc wrong manipulation of electrodes
Bad fitup

Lack of Fusion: Improper Cleaning

Bevel ends oil rust or contamination
Wrong manipulation of electrodes
Bad fitup
Suggest Preventive Measures or how will you avoid it?
Undercut:

Use of appropriate current

Maintain travel speed required by WPS

Lack of Fusion: Proper cleaning of Bevel

Proper alignment / good fitup
Use right position of Electrode
What action will you take for repair?
Copy of radiograph inspection
Clear tracing of repair area
Clearly mark up repair area
Check the area for defect removal while excavating repair area by grinding

If visual inspection is not feasible, how will you ensure that the weld is acceptable?
By carrying out the radiography of the weld
What are the destructive tests commonly conducted for a welding procedure
qualification?

Ultimate tensile strength

Bend test (root and face)
Charpy impact test (nick break test)
Hardness test
If arc strikes or stay arc is found on a parent metal what will be your course of action?
Arc strikes should be ground smooth and magnetic particle testing shall be conducted.
Give your course of action if the given sample is accepted/ rejected.
If sample is accepted result to be recorded in the approved format duly fill up the
relevant inspection report
If sample is rejected fill up the inspection report, state the types of defect and peruse
location of the defect is to be marked on the sample and a sketch is to be made. Attach
the reports and give it to the authorized personnel for further remedial action to be
performed.

Root defect:

revel poor workmanship
