61 Shrinkage Voids

Shrinkage voids are cavity-type discontinuities normally formed by shrinkage during solidification and are usually in the form of long cavities parallel to the root of the weld.

Shrinkage Voids Prevention

Shrinkage voids are prevented by providing sufficient heat input to maintain molten filler metal to all areas of a weld during solidification.
