SCRS Quick Tip: Identify Welding Problems Early

Learn to identify signs of welding problems during the process, understand their causes, and discover maintenance practices that ensure consistent, strong welds.

When something feels off during the weld, it usually is. In this Quick Tip video from Society of Collision Repair Specialists, TJ O’Rourke of I-CAR and Gary Wano Jr. of GW and Son discuss the telltale signs technicians should watch for during the weld, such as an erratic arc, porosity, or inconsistent performance, and what those signals may indicate. 

Learn how issues often trace back to consumables or equipment conditions, and why maintaining your welder is just as important as proper setup and technique.  
The takeaway: consistency, awareness, and properly maintained equipment are key to successful welds. 

The video was filmed at the I-CAR Training Center in Appleton, Wisconsin.
