Partial weld around a pipe joint with clear heat affected zone. This is ASME SA106 Grade B steel pipe NPS 2.5 SCH 80 with J-grooved prepared ends. An automated TIG orbital welder made half an orbit before aborting. The heat affected zone is clearly visible because of the polished ends, even though it is generally innocuous in this material.
