Reference Radiographs for Full Penetration Aluminum Weldments

Abstract

Standard reference radiographs were selected from weld flaw specimens fabricated from aluminum plate of various thicknesses to establish a military document containing reference radiographs for quality control of full penetration aluminum weldments. The various types of flaws known to occur in full penetration aluminum welds were prepared with production reproducible welding procedures, and were radiographically graded according to pre-established severity levels.
