How to Prevent Porosity in the Weld Seam of Large-Diameter Spiral Pipes
Porosity in the weld seam of large-diameter spiral pipes not only affects the weld tightness, leading to potential leaks, but also serves as a corrosion initiation point, significantly reducing the weld strength and toughness. Factors contributing to porosity include moisture in the flux, contaminants, oxidation, iron filings, welding composition, flux coverage, steel plate surface quality, edge preparation, welding technique, and pipe forming technology.
