Tack welds 定位焊 When required tack welds shall be applied to retain the components in alignment during welding. The length of the individual tack weld and the frequency of such welds should be specified in the relevant weld procedure specification (WPS) or elsewhere. In joints welded by fully mechanized or automatic processes, the condition for deposition of tack welds shall be included in the WPS. The tack welds shall be applied in a balanced sequence to minimize the risk of distortion and maintain good fit-up. Where a tack weld is incorporated in a welded joint, the shape of the tack weld sha
