We manufacture agricultural spreaders for lime and fertilizers. Parts are fabricated (sheet metal) and welded according to customer specifications. We currently do not have any criteria for Weld Inspection. Our lead people bring an experience level to know when a weld is "good" but we want to document some criteria to incorporate into Measurement and Monitoring of Product. We would hope to satisfy the requirement with visual inspection. This is what we have so far.
* No Weld Cracks
* No Cold Lap
* No Undercuts
* No Overlap
* Proper Fusion/Penetration
* Adequate Fillet Size
* Alignment of Parts (per drawing spec)
* Even/Clean Weld
Do we need to be more specific? Do we need to define to some sort of standard regarding fusion and fillet size? We don't need rocket science, but want to be measureable.
Thanks As Usual!
