WeldScore WeldScore allows you to score each weld based on a trained sample of acceptable welds. Great for: Expanding Quality Control Capabilities Trade School Monitoring, Grading and Final Examinations Critical Welds with Specific Quality Control Requirements Operator Testing and Certification Programs Weldscore is a tool intended for in-process monitoring of weld quality based upon customers supplied criteria and is not a replacement for quality assurance procedures such as non-destructive testing. Benefits WeldScore is a unique patent pending data monitoring system based on 30 to 50 internal control variables. Fundamentally different than data monitoring systems that only use voltage and amperage feedback. Higher detection reliability achieved with data collection speed of 120 khz and embedded knowledge of the welding control system. Allows you to score each weld based on your trained definition of the acceptable conditions. Multi-parameter statistical analysis specifically designed for consistent and reliable results. 18 The Lincoln Electric Company

WeldScore Example 25 CFH, 90/10 Argon/CO 2 WeldScore 99% Closely matches trained sample weld, resulting in a 99% score. Acceptable Weld - Proper gas flow and coverage produces a good weld with no porosity. Example-Low Gas Flow 5 CFH WeldScore 4% Example-Shielding Gas Mix Change 75/25 Argon/CO 2 WeldScore 15% Unacceptable Weld - Low gas flow results in obvious porosity. Unacceptable Weld - Incorrect gas mix yields higher spatter levels. 10 CFH WeldScore 12% 100% Argon WeldScore 0% Good Appearance / Internal Porosity - The weld appears good. However, a cross section of the weld reveals pin holes and hidden porosity under the surface due to low gas flow or gas coverage. Good Appearance / Inadequate Penetration - The weld appearance is good with minimal spatter. However, a cross section of the weld reveals poor penetration due to an incorrect gas type. WeldScore 19
