DURING WELDING :- AVOID OVER-WELD, USE INTERMITTENT WELD,USE AS LESS WELD PASSES IF APPLICABLE,  PLACE WELD NEAR THE NEUTRAL AXIS, BALANCE WELDS, BACK STEP WELDING, PLANNED WELDING SEQUENCE, STRONG BACK, RESTRAINT.ETC....

FOLLOW THE WELDING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATION, ASSESS THE MATERIAL PROPERTIES AND HEAT RESISTANCE FOR YOU TO ADJUST THE PROCESS AND CURRENT YOU WILL BE USING.THEN IF THERE IS A NEED OF PREHEATING DO IT WITH THE HELP OF THE WPS AND SOME JIGS AND FIXTURES TO HOLD THE WELDMENTS

To prevent or minimize weld distortion, methods must be used both in design and during welding to overcome the effects of the heating and cooling cycle. Shrinkage cannot be prevented, but it can be controlled. Several ways can be used to minimize distortion caused by shrinkage:

1.Avoid over welding

2.Use intermittent welding

3.Use as few weld passes as possible

4.Place welds near the neutral axis

5.Use the back step welding technique

6.Thermal stress relieving 

7.Alternate the welding sequence

8.Minimize welding time

in this process ,we have to using the various  methods of finding defects process..using that method  to easily find out out the defects from inspetion..its called a welding inspection

Pre Heating can help minimize distortion where required by WPS

Post Weld Heat Treatment (if required by WPS)

Controlled Heat Input

Use of Proper Jigs & Fixtures
