In some austenitic stainless steel welds grains orientation cause deviation and splitting of the ultrasonic beam. It is especially true in the case of multipass welds when the remelting process after each pass causes complex solidification process. With these orientations we define a precise description of the heterogeneous and anisotropic material. Non destructive testing (NDT) is commonly used industrial method to evaluate the integrity of individual components. In service induced cracks such as fatigue and stress corrosion cracks can, if they are detected, be sized and monitored in order to postpone repairs or replacements. Introduction Welding development requires the use of some new processes which can lead to imperfections and defects in welds. Moreover, welds undergo, during life time, thermal and mechanical stresses or deteriorations due to the effects of oxidation, which weaken the welds and could be the defects. It is important, for the environment safety to be able to control this welds in a non- destructive way, to avoid problems such as leak in industrial plants petrochemical industry, chemical industry, transport of gas, refineries... In our work, two welded carbon steel of 3.8 cm thickness were made using two different welding processes: low energy manual arc process and
