QA/QC OF WELDING
The welding procedure shows all the approved values of variables
involved with the production welding
The test details and the NDT & mechanical testing reports are
recorded. This is called Procedure1Qualification Record ( PQR )4
Welding Variables

Joint Design
Welding Position
Joint cleaning and tack welding
Welding technique
Back Gauging
Backing
Filler Metal
Flux
Shielding Gas
Electric parameters
Travel speed
Wire feed
Preheat & inter pass temperature
Post weld heat treatment
