i is indeed found and removed, and (2) to attempt to minimize the number of repairs on a specific weld.
After repair, the weld must undergo the same level of inspection which detected the original defect.
I might add that neither the AWS nor ASME Code requires in-process corrections to be inspected.
Further, in my opinion these inspections are not necessary, warranted or justifiable to produce structurally sound welds.
I know of no other welding engineers or code specialists who would advocate such inspections.
Indeed, to my knowledge no one in the entire welding industry requires such inspections.
A weld is not technically " defective" or cannot be said to have a " defect" until inspected and evaluated by the designated authorities (e.g., QC personnel) to the acceptance criteria specified by the applicable code.
