The weld bevel on the intersecting line is mainly
formed by manual gas cutting or plasma cutting. The processing precision is not
high, the groove angle is too small, and the welding process parameters are
improperly selected, which will result in incomplete penetration. Another main reason for the quality defect of the welded tee is that
the process is wrong, the outer groove of the branch pipe is processed into the
inner groove, and the branch pipe is directly lapped on the main pipe for
welding. Incomplete penetration reduces the strength of
the weld. For pipes that transport corrosive media, as the production cycle
increases, the heat affected zone of the weld is thinned, resulting in weld
leakage. The reason for the generation of pores and slag
inclusions is that the oil, rust, moisture and other impurities in the groove
and the vicinity before welding are not cleaned, and the skin is not removed
during the welding process. In addition, during the
welding operation, the welding speed is too fast, and the welding current is
too small, which accelerates the cooling speed of the weld.
