Detection of Welding Defects by Non-Destructive Testing Methods

Abstract

One of the most used joining methods in the manufacturing industry is welded joints. Welded joints are non-removable types of joints and good mechanical properties are expected from the weld seam after joining. For this reason, it is extremely important that there are no errors, defects or gaps in the weld area. This study is about the detection of defects existing in the welding regions of various machine elements with welded joints by non-destructive testing methods. The advantages and disadvantages of the non-destructive testing methods used in the study are presented.
