How to Avoid the Most Common MIG/MAG Welding Defects
15. februar 2021
The quality requirements in welding production increase with the optimization of structures as well as the development of materials and welding processes. Welding defects can, at worst, cause serious accidents and structural damage, so it is important to avoid them and understand the mechanisms that create them. In this text, we present the most common MIG/MAG welding defects and the ways to best avoid them.

Calculation of heat input in MIG/MAG welding
The new welding procedure test standard, EN-ISO 15614-1:2017, provides recommendations for the measurement and calculation of heat input. In concrete terms, what does this mean for MIG/MAG welding? And how can workshops carry out these calculations in practice?

WeldEye enables remote work in welding production
Managing welding production with a cloud-based software solution has considerable advantages. For one, it gives work supervisors or quality assurance teams the convenience of working remotely from home. It increases transparency, quality and efficiency, thanks to improved information flow and traceability. The welders also receive immediate feedback on their work.

Safety that keeps up with welders' challenges and changing risks
Welding safety has become increasingly demanding. The hazards at the arc remain constant, but modern working conditions mean exposure can accumulate over longer shifts and in tighter indoor spaces. As a result, welding PPE needs to be treated as both protection for the welder and proof of compliance. At Kemppi, welding safety PPE is designed and validated in practice through clear requirements, welder-led feedback, and verified compliance with EU PPE Regulation 2016/425, CE marking processes, and relevant EN standards.
