Weld Analysis

An accurate weld analysis requires several measurements. 
Welding Expert, a groundbreaking new imaging tool from Struers,
world leader in materialography, focuses on the weld bead itself. 
Typical measurements that are taken include:

  • Definition of metal sheet borders (see blue lines)
  • Automatic placement of mini penetration line (red line)
  • Adjustment of penetration depth line (orange/green line)
  • Leg length definition
  • Throat definition
  • Gap between the two metal sheets

Welding Expert automatically compares these 6 measurements to
stored acceptance criteria.
For each weld bead measurement,
an image and weld analysis report is created.  All measurements
are saved into global files for use in statistical analysis.
