Consumable Verification

Filler metal testing checks whether the fillers in the weld match the specified properties. This is important for strength and behavior under mechanical load.

Physicochemical Mechanism of Action

Filler metal testing checks whether the fillers in the weld match the specified properties. This is done through chemical analyses and microscopic examinations of the microstructure.

Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding

Wrong fillers can impair the strength of the weld, which can lead to cracks or deformations. Inaccurate testing can also result in the weld not meeting the specified mechanical requirements.

Workshop Practice & Action Instructions

Use standardized methods for chemical and microscopic analysis. Make sure the fillers are correctly mixed and the weld is treated accordingly after the test. If in doubt, immediately run the test again.
