Best Answer

Slag inclusions are nonmetallic solid material entrapped in weld metal or between weld metal and base metal. Slag inclusions are regions within the weld cross section or at the weld surface where the once-molten flux used to protect the molten metal is mechanically trapped within the solidified metal. This solidified slag represents a portion of the weld's cross-section where the metal is not fused to itself. This can result in a weakened condition which could impair the serviceability of the component. Inclusions may also appear at the weld surface. Like incomplete fusion, slag inclusions can occur between the weld and base metal or between individual weld passes. In fact, slag inclusions are often associated with incomplete fusion. Daniel

How do you prevent the occurrence of slag inclusion and undercut?

The following techniques can be used to prevent slag inclusions: Use welding techniques to produce smooth weld beads and adequate inter-run fusion to avoid forming pockets to trap the slag. Use the correct current and travel speed to avoid undercutting the sidewall which will make the slag difficult to remove.

What is welder slag?

Welder slag is a byproduct resulting from the welding process, often forming a layer on top of the welded joint. It consists of the residue from the flux used in the welding rod or wire, which helps protect the weld pool from impurities and contaminants while it cools. Slag is typically removed after welding to inspect the quality of the weld and ensure proper fusion.
