Every pass matters and may cause failure if not done correctly.

You need both and if you’re a good welder, you take pride in both

If the weld is 100flush with parent metal, the cap add no strength. It’s only for appearance.

Every pass matters and the cap should be to spec or the weld will failed under stress! It should look good but the spec matters more! I am not giving the important knowledge away!

As a Forman of a weld shop. It’s all important. We want no weak points plus cosmetic.

Not only cosmetic. In submarine nuke welding it could fail a weld.

Cap pass adds the final layer of reinforcement to the metal gives protection by sealing the inner layers from air water rust and it gives the weld a neat professional look like they say a piece of art 👍this is my aluminum fit and mig welds

The way they look can be an indication of the weld it has nothing to do if they pass inspection, especially the when they start shooting the weld 😂

All welds should be done as per..procedure...EVERY PASS...SHOULD BE DEFECT FREE

Inclusions possible with every pass. Cap pass is not cosmetic. Scratch a piece of sheet metal and bend it several times and see where it breaks

Ryan Orpen :
theyre both equally important, while yes a cap pass helps with cosmetics, its inclusion provides additional reinforcement to a weld, so you need both a good main weld with a good pass, but at the end of the day, it depends what customer specs and tolerance are as to whether or not the weld is good enough

Greg Williams :
the cap pass will not fix defects in the intermediate groove welds. for the sake of passing the certification for the guided bend test they should all be perfect and defect free but hypothetically the joint would be more sound with better intermediate welds and a poor cap pass than the other way around just because there would be more solid and sound weld metal in the groove.

Root matters the most in my experience, but all welds should be good individually.
