Weldability and Weld Flaws

There is more to 'weldability' than meets the eye. For a weld to be truly successful, it must have adequate mechanical properties and be able to withstand degradation in service, such as corrosion damage. Thus, weldability is a measure of how easy it is to:

  • Obtain crack-free welds 

  • Achieve adequate mechanical properties

  • Produce welds that are resistant to service degradation.

Weldability is not a fixed parameter for a given material, but will depend on joint details, service requirements, and welding processes and facilities available

TWI has an experience multi-disciplined team of specialists covering metallurgy, joining techniques, non-destructive testing (NDT), structural integrity and modelling which, together, form a powerful resource to solve all kinds of joining challenges for a wide range of functional materials.
