The National Shipbuilding Research Program Navy Weld Defect Tolerance Study

Abstract

The study deals with a statistical analysis of quality control data collected from six major U. S. shipyards involved in naval ship construction. This examination is confined to non-combatants built out of mild steel only. The purpose of the study was to assess the significance of weld discontinuities with a view towards optimizing weld acceptance standards so as to minimize unnecessary weld repair.
