This document discusses weld defects, specifically porosity in welds. It defines porosity as gas holes or voids found within a weld caused when gases trapped in the weld do not escape as it solidifies. The document outlines the main causes of porosity as dirt and moisture, describes the detrimental effects on strength and fatigue life, and provides methods for preventing and detecting porosity, including maintaining cleanliness and using non-destructive testing techniques.
The document summarizes ASME Section VIII Division 1 code requirements for material identification, repair of material defects, Charpy impact testing of production test coupons, weld joint categories, radiographic and ultrasonic examination, welding requirements, and acceptance standards for non-destructive examination. Key points include requirements for original material markings, testing procedures that vary based on joint category and position, examination types based on joint size and material thickness, welder identification, pre-welding surface preparation, and imperfection acceptance criteria.
This document discusses weldability and defects in weldments. It covers various topics related to weld design, residual stresses, weld defects, and the weldability of different materials such as steels, aluminum alloys, copper alloys, titanium alloys, and magnesium alloys. The objectives are for students to understand causes of residual stresses and distortions, differentiate between weld defects, and suggest remedies. Weldability depends on factors like material composition and welding techniques. Some materials like steel are more weldable than others such as aluminum.
1) Ultrasonic testing techniques include pulse echo, through transmission, and transmission with reflection. Pulse echo uses a single probe to send and receive sound to detect defect depth and orientation. Through transmission uses probes on opposite sides to detect defects but not location. Transmission with reflection can locate defects.
2) The sound beam has a near zone where intensity varies and a far zone with exponential decay. The near zone length depends on probe frequency and diameter, with higher frequency and larger diameter increasing length.
3) Beam spread is smaller with higher frequency and larger diameter probes. Compression waves have a smaller beam spread than shear waves. Snell's law and critical angles determine how sound refracts between materials

The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on air pollution. Researchers analyzed data from dozens of countries and found that lockdowns led to an average decline of nearly 30% in nitrogen dioxide levels over cities. However, they also observed that this improvement was temporary and air pollution rebounded once lockdown restrictions began lifting. Overall, the study highlights how human activities are a major driver of air pollution but also that systemic changes are needed for long-term air quality improvements.
