WELDING QUALITY

I SEE so much bad welding on modified cars. The owners don’t seem to realise that, at highway speeds, a weld failure can be fatal. Vehicle welds are subject to cyclic loads and fatigue stresses, so all welding should be carried out by qualified welders. In the modern age, quality assurance and workplace health and safety are part of our everyday lives, so it must extend into our garages and apply to the quality of our welding.
