ME Transitioning to Digital-First Delivery

Starting in 2025, ASNT is moving to a digital-first membership model. As part of this change, Materials Evaluation will no longer be printed and mailed to all members each month. The final automatically mailed issue will be August 2025.

This change helps ASNT keep membership dues affordable as printing and postage costs rise, as well as reduce our environmental impact.

We’re also enhancing your digital experience with a new way to explore Materials Evaluation content online, launching later in 2025.

Assessing Radiographs of SAW Stainless-Steels Welds for Mottled Indications

Wednesday, 24 September 2025
1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET

Register for Meeting 


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 or flaw. The combination of the above can create a mottled radiographic indication that radiographers may incorrectly identify as incomplete fusion or incomplete penetration. This presentation addresses the contributors to this condition; radiographically and metallurgically. After this presentation, individuals will see the differences between x ray and gamma ray radiography on the same subject, Also, the individuals will see what can occur in changing mA and Kv settings when shooting stainless steel welds. Finally, explanations will be given on the metallurgical and chemical contributors in x raying stainless steel (SAW) welds.
