Build Your Career with Visual Welding Inspection

Fri, 29 August, 2025

Visual welding inspection is one of the most effective and economical methods for detecting surface flaws in welds, such as cracks, porosity, and undercuts. These defects, if overlooked, can compromise the strength and reliability of welded structures. Beyond defect detection, visual inspection also forms the foundation for many other non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques, ensuring compliance with industry standards while enhancing weld quality and overall structural integrity.
