Welding Quality Welding quality is central to product integrity. Welding discontinuities,
many of which are not evident with simple visual inspection, can include
root surface cracking, overlapping, undercutting, irregularities at the weld
interface, and under-bead cracking. Weld bead size is a major issue, too.
If the bead is too small, it can degrade or fail under service conditions; if too
large, it can generate stresses or create distortions in welded components. Good welding quality is the foundation of quality manufacturing. Now, there
is a tool for weld bead analysis that represents the most important advancement
in many years. It may prove to be the ultimate means for achieving high welding
quality, reliably and consistently. Welding Expert is a new imaging technology offered by Struers, a world leader
in materialography. Welding Expert is a groundbreaking welding quality tool for
fast and highly accurate weld bead analysis. Self-contained and easy to use,
Welding Expert quickly generates a variety of important measurements,
and automatically compares each to stored acceptance criteria. A box
showing all measurement values is stamped with a scale bar for greatest
clarity. And you can click and drag all measurement values for best-possible
readability. Point-to-point lines can be added, and parallel lines too.
Print or export all measurement values, maximums and minimums,
and pass/fails, then generate reports by specific parts, parts runs, or shifts.
Statistical overviews can also be produced. High welding quality has never been simpler – or faster! Weld Expert is a
full-featured imaging system engineered specifically for precise and rapid
weld bead measurement. It is the most important new tool available for
assuring welding quality. 
Struers is proud to announce that we are now certified compliant with
the ISO 14001 standard for Environmental Management Systems.
