The Annual Pittsburgh Joint AWS/ASNT Meeting
MEETING TOPIC:
Assessing Mottled Like Indications When Digitally Radiographing Austenitic Stainless-Steel Welds
When radiographing an austenitic stainless-steel weld with an appreciable weld deposit size, selecting a low radiographic kilovoltage (keV) can contribute to producing a radiographic indication that is not an imperfection. The contributors to this mottled like condition are two-fold: radiographically and metallurgically. This combination can create a mottled like indication that radiographers may incorrectly identify as incomplete fusion or incomplete penetration. Mottling is a radiographic indication that can appear as an indistinct area of more or less dense images
