Weld Identification System

A system for the clear marking and identification of welds on manufacturing drawings. It serves to assign them to work positions and welders.

Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action

The weld identification system uses unique codes or symbols placed on production drawings. These markings link the physical weld to the corresponding work positions and welders.

Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding

A missing or incorrect identification system can lead to confusion, making it difficult to assign welds to the appropriate work positions and welders. This can result in quality issues and errors in the production process.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

Use a standardized identification system with unique codes or symbols. Make sure all welds are correctly and visibly marked on the production drawings. Document the assignment to work positions and welders in a central system for easy traceability.
