Often times you will see bad welds on a plethora of products. However, it’s the products that our citizens use every day that count. A significant risk assessment for bad welds that you can make is on certain automotive vehicles. If you check under the frame of your vehicle you can often find welds that have a lack of fusion or rooting. The main cause of this is the robots that are automatically welding your vehicles use rods that do not cause a weld to reach as deep as its supposed to go. Therefore, this causes a structural integrity issue.

The problem with this is simple. If your vehicles frame isn’t as sturdy in some spots because of weld problems, you can expect the car or truck to crumble if it impacts something. Therefore, it is obviously its a safety issue that requires examination.

Setting Sail For Difficulty

Along with the vehicle industry lacking inspection, another risk assessment for bad welds you can make is some shipyards have welders working around the clock making bad welds. This can cause damages in the future. There may be supervisors on the job. However, there’s often an overlook on inspection as they trust welders to do their job right.

However this is not the case most the time, just like all industries there can be a slacker. In addition to potentially being disastrous, to avoid these bad welds on ships teaching in welder training is necessary. Companies spend loads of money on training their welders. However, this all is for naught if the supervisors do not do their job correctly. We check everything twice just to ensure its spot on. Also, if we are not comfortable with our product we rework our welds with precision to give you exactly what you are looking for.

We only purchase the best quality products from one supplier. Whereas other companies purchase low price, low quality welding products from multiple suppliers. This can lead to instability in product performance.

With different quality gasses and welding rods, welds will lose their integrity over time. This is because you cannot just mix products like that. Many suppliers make their products differently. Therefore, if you are using a mixture that isn’t of the same properties you are just asking for trouble. Setting up with a single supplier on contract is usually what most companies do, and this is a good move. We expect the same results every time from our work, and there’s no guarantee with multiple different welding products in use. Give us a call to talk with us about doing work for you, you definitely won’t regret it.
