There are certain aspects of the various joining and
cutting processes which the successful welding
inspector must understand in order to perform
most effectively.
1-The inspector should realize the important
advantages and limitations of each process.
2-The inspector should be aware of those
discontinuities which may result when a
particular process is used.
3-The welding inspector should have some
knowledge of the equipment requirements for
each process.
4-The inspector should be familiar with the
various machine controls and what effect their
adjustment will have on the resulting weld
quality.
5-This knowledge will aid in the discovery of
problems when they occur rather than later when
the cost of correction is greater.
6-Another benefit of having experience with
these welding methods is that the production
welders will have greater respect for the
inspector and resulting decisions
