Slope of a shear knife from end to end.
Welding Tech
Soundness of a weld that show no internal or underbead cracks, voids or inclusions when inspected by X-ray or gamma ray techniques.
A crack originating in the fusion zone and extending into the base metal, usually at right angles to the line of fusion. This type of crack is due to the high stresses involved in the cooling of a rigid structure.
Process of fast-cooling metals or alloys such as steel in the process of hardening, as air quenching, oil quenching, water quenching, etc.
The travel angle when the electrode is pointing in the direction of weld progression. This angle can also be used to partially define the position of guns, torches, rods and beams.
