What are the

different weld
defects we have
discussed?
What is porosity?
What are the
different types of
porosity?
 Puzzle Game
The class will be divided
into four. Each group
should have a leader and
a reporter. Arrange the
puzzle to form a
picture/image.
 What do you observed on
the picture/image being
formed?
 Based on the picture, do you
have now an idea on what
will be our lesson for today?
 OBJECTIVES
LO1. Mark/ locate weld defects.
 Discuss weld defects, causes
and remedies.
 Mark and locate weld defects.
 Develop awareness on weld
defects, causes and remedies.
Under
Over
Excessive
Incomplete
In what subject
you encounter
these words?
In English
 Where do we use under and
over in a sentence?
 Preposition- is a word which
expresses relationship of a
noun or pronoun to other
words of the sentence.
How about excessive
and incomplete?
Adjective- a word
that describe a noun
or a pronoun.
Where can we
apply these words
in welding?
In weld defects.
 INSTRUCTIONS

The same group during the

first activity, using your
cellphones take a picture of
the topics assigned to your
group. Present to the class
the result of your
discussion.
• GROUP I- Undercut
• GROUP II- Overlap
• GROUP III- Excessive
Spatter
• GROUP IV- Incomplete
Fusion
 UNDERCUT
.Too fast travel speed
.Reduce the electrode travel speed.
.Too large electrode.
.Use proper electrode.
.Poor weld technique.
.Choose correct welding technique.
 OVERLAP
. Faulty electrode manipulation.
. Use uniform weave.
. Current too high.
. Use moderate current.
. Improper electrode size.
. Use correct type of electrode.
 EXCESSIVE SPATTER
. Current too high.
. Adjust current properly.
. Arc too long.
. Adjust arc length.
. Faulty electrode.
. Pick suitable electrode.
 INCOMPLETE FUSION
. Wrong speed.
. Weave must be sufficient to melt side
joint.
. Current improperly adjusted.
 Select proper current and voltage.
. Improper electrode size.
 Adjust the electrode to match the joint.
INCOMPLETE- not
having all the necessary
(insufficient).
EXCESSIVE- more than
is necessary.
What are we going to do
with the weld defects?
How can we avoid weld
defects?
Why do we have to locate
weld defects?
What are the
common causes of
weld defects?
 Identify the remedies for the
following causes of weld defects.
Arc too long.
Too fast travel speed.
Current too high.
Too large electrode.
Faulty electrode
manipulation.
 PROCEDURE
You will be provided with
a welding specimen.
Identify and mark the
various weld defects
present in the weld
metal.
