    This document lists common weld defects and their potential causes. Table 10-1 lists 9 different weld defects: cracking, unstable arc, poor weld starts or wire stubbing, excessive spatter, burnthrough, convex bead, incomplete penetration, lack of fusion, and undercutting. For each defect, the table provides potential causes such as incorrect wire chemistry, welding voltage too low, travel speed too low, or joint design issues. The document appears to be an excerpt from a welding handbook discussing troubleshooting of weld defects.
