In-Process Visual Inspection

In-process visual inspection is a continuous visual check during welding production to immediately identify irregularities and correct them before further processing.

Physicochemical Mechanism of Action

In-process visual inspection involves direct observation of the welding process, watching for irregular structures, pores, or other defects that may form during welding.

Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding

Irregularities in the weld can lead to cracks, distortion, or weak points. Early detection and correction of these defects prevent further issues later in the production process.

Workshop Practice & Action Guidelines

During welding production, visual inspection should be carried out continuously. This can be done by an additional person or by using cameras and image processing systems. If irregularities are detected, stop welding immediately and identify the cause. Then correct the process and restart.
