Welding Quality

Welding Quality - Quality is the degree of conformity to a certain predetermined standard. Standards result ultimately from the establishment of objectives. If the company has an objective of gaining a reputation for manufacturing a high quality product, standards will have to be high.
In order to meet these high standards, there would have to be a very rigid quality control program. Increased quality generally results in higher prices. Quality is a relative term and is generally explained with reference to the end use of the product.

For example, a gear used in a sugarcane juice extracting machine though not of the same material and without possessing good finish, tolerance and accuracy as that of a gear used in the headstock of a sophisticated lathe may be considered of good quality if it works satisfactorily in the juice extracting machine. Thus a component is said to be of good quality if it works well in the equipment for which it is meant.

Compared to other common fabrication techniques, welding is a relatively new technology. Ever since its initial introduction there has been a keen interest in the resulting quality of welds produced. For this reason much of our present inspection technology exists because of the need to provide assurance that welds are suitable for their intended service.
