Cold weld
False weld or virtual weld
Due to the low welding temperature, the welded parts of the two thin steel plates fail to reach the plastic melting (tin is melted) state. 3.27
Pinhole
During welding, the hot melt tin-plated steel sheet cools slower than the tin-plated steel sheet, forming a penetrating hole. 3.28
Punch
Individual welding points in the weld are melted and perforated due to the sudden excessive welding current (such as caused by residual coating, etc.). 3.29
Missing welding
The state where one or more welding points in the weld have no current or the current is too small and cannot be fused. 3.30
Inner coating integrity
enamelratevalue;ERv
Due to factors such as raw materials and processing technology, the inner coating surface has defects such as micropores and scratches, which are expressed by the conduction current value caused by the defects.
Double seam
Double seam
Through the operation of the first roller and the second roller, the flange of the can body and the hook edge of the top (bottom) cover are hooked and pressed to form a sealing structure. The double seam is composed of three layers of top (bottom) cover thickness and two layers of can body thickness. 3.32
Faulty score
The score of the can body is defective, resulting in leakage of the can body, or the can cannot be opened or rolled to the end, and the external iron printing paint is seriously exploded due to the score.
GB/T14251—2017
deadhead;spinner;skidder;slipseamIncomplete seam
During the can sealing process, the local seam is not completely pressed due to the slippage of the pressure head or the poor rotation of the roller. See Figure 1.
Normal seam
Jumped seam
Incomplete seam
Incomplete seam
Because the seam at the weld is thick, the roller skips over the weld and fails to press the seam. See Figure 2.
Seam at the joint

False seam
The folded cover hook presses the folded body hook tightly, but the seam is not hooked together. See Figure 3.
Figure 3 False seam
Knocked-downflange;softcrabGB/T14251—2017
When sealing the can, due to the serious collision of the can body flange or the edge of the can cover, the can body and the can cover are not hooked together, and there is a clear phenomenon of the can body flange exposed at the bottom of the flange.

The degree of overlap between the body hook and the cover hook inside the curling, expressed as a percentage. Wrinklerating
GB/T14251—2017
After the hem is disassembled, the uneven wrinkle degree of the inner side of the cover hook accounts for the proportion of the entire cover hook length, expressed as a percentage. The wrinkles do not include the traces left after the wrinkles are rolled flat during the hem process. See Figure 10.3.47
