Surfacing Sequence

The specified sequence of weld beads to avoid forging defects and cracks.

Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action

The surfacing weld sequence refers to the planned order of welding operations to achieve specific metallurgical properties and avoid potential defects. Each bead type has its own chemical composition and thermal effect on the workpiece.

Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding

Incorrect or incomplete surfacing weld sequences can lead to cracks, hot cracks, or insufficient corrosion protection. The correct sequence is crucial for the hardness and strength of the weld.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

Always follow the manufacturer's recommended surfacing weld sequence. Use the correct welding consumables in the prescribed order and pay attention to correct temperature and time control during the process.
