Quality assurance in Plasma Arc Welding (PAW) ensures that the welding is done safely, correctly, and up to strict standards.
Here are some of the key quality assurance measures in PAW:
- Monitor arc stability: Check that the plasma arc remains consistent for uniform and precise welds.
- Control heat input: Manage the amount of heat applied to prevent defects like cracking or warping.
- Ensure proper gas flow: Verify that shielding and plasma gases are delivered at the correct flow rates to maintain weld quality.
- Inspect materials' cleanliness: Ensure the surfaces being welded are clean and free of contaminants that could weaken the weld.
What Role Does a Certified Welding Inspector Play in PAW?
A Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) is responsible for ensuring that all welding work, including PAW, complies with required specifications and safety codes. We review welding procedures, inspect welds visually and with tools, monitor jobsite practices, and verify that only qualified welders are performing the work. We’re the last line of defense between a safe and well-executed welding project.
Additionally, our inspectors can help you improve your welding processes. We can identify deficiencies and recommend improvements, whether through training or improved tools.

What Are Common Defects Found During PAW Inspections?
Even with precision techniques like Plasma Arc Welding, defects can happen—especially if procedures aren’t followed closely. Common defects include porosity (tiny gas pockets), cracks, undercutting, lack of fusion between materials, and incomplete penetration. These flaws can weaken the weld or lead to failure under stress.
