Indy/Life. Eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia cost the country more than Â£15bn a year, according to the first analysis of the financial effects of the problems.
The centerline crack show on this fillet weld is the result of. low melting point material segregation (or segregation weld. cracking). Crater cracking occurs when the welding operator stops welding prior to finishing a pass on a weld joint, leaving a wide, thin depression at the end.
Bad welds can be traced back to poor workmanship, poor design, or a little of both. Weld defects happen for a host of reasons. Air may creep into the weldment to cause porosity. The wrong amount of heat can cause cracking. Bad welding technique can cause undercuts or incomplete penetrations of one kind or another. Various factors contribute to weld problems, but many lead back to the same place. In fact, most causes of weld defects can be traced back to two general areas: first, a combination of poor instruction and workmanship; second, poor weld design and/or material choice.
