Welding of ship structures is regarded as a process that requires a high level of control to develop finished product consistency. By its current nature welds may still contain low levels of defects. To further reduce defect levels and improve the consistency of the welded products some factors have been identified which could contribute to inferior performance. A number of these have been termed ‘management issues,’ ie, technology and aspects that are well established and need to be part of the overall managed process. In addition the differentiation between thick and thin plate has been made, highlighting their significantly different requirements. Steel material requirements have been reviewed and the improvement of steel plate/bar and welding consumables in the last 10 years have been seen to contribute to overall process consistency.
