Thank you for listening to episode 230 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast!  For this week's episode we're talking about common defects and discontinuities seen in welds.  This chat was sparked from a post Roy put up on Instagram of a Lack of Fusion in one of his test pieces.  There are many reasons why you might get one of these defects we talk about in this episode and this is a very deep topic.  We hope this episode sparks something within you to do some testing and see if you're getting any common defects in your welds that you might not know of.  Thank you for all the support and have a great week!  Enjoy!    This episode is sponsored by ISOTunes.com   If you're liking what you hear please leave us a comment and rating on whatever podcast platform you're listening from.  It's always great to hear what our listeners think.  Plus, the more positive ratings we get the higher the podcast gets ranked which will make it seen for more future listeners.  Thanks!     Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast Patreon Page    We also would like to take a moment and thank those who support the show on Patreon.
