This document provides generalized guidelines for structural steel welding inspection as per the AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code for Steel. It covers standard terms, the scope of the code, limitations on its use, design of welded connections, weld joint configurations, prequalification of welding procedures, qualification requirements, fabrication, inspection, and non-destructive testing requirements. Key areas addressed include complete and partial joint penetration welds, fillet welds, prequalification criteria for common welding processes and materials, visual inspection acceptance standards, and additional non-destructive testing as required.
Fabrication and Quality Control of structural steelAhmed Allam
Fabrication is the process of assembling steel structures after production in mills. It involves receiving raw materials like steel sections, plates, and fasteners then preparing them through cutting, drilling holes, and rolling plates. The main fabrication procedures are production using cold forming, welding together components after edge preparation, and applying surface protection through methods like blasting and painting. Non-destructive testing techniques help ensure quality by identifying any defects in welds. Quality control focuses on maintaining standards while quality assurance establishes how well quality will be achieved.
The document discusses key terminology and concepts related to welding inspection. Some key points:
- It defines different types of welds (e.g. butt weld, fillet weld), joints (e.g. butt, tee, lap), and weld zones (e.g. weld metal, heat affected zone).
- It discusses joint preparation details like bevel angles, root faces, gaps for different joint types (e.g. single V, single J).
- It covers features of fillet welds like leg length, throat thickness, and how they relate. Leg length and throat thickness determine weld strength.
- It also discusses duties of a welding inspector like observing welding, recording
