  2. Types of Welds • Numerous welds can be applied to the various types of joints • Considerations when choosing joint geometry and weld types: • accessibility to the joint for welding • type of welding process being used • suitability to the structural design • cost of welding

  3. Types of Welds • There are nine categories of welds associated with weld symbols • Groove welds • Fillet Welds • Plug or Slot welds • Stud welds • Spot or projection welds • Seam welds • Back Or Backing welds • Surfacing welds • Flange Welds

  4. Types of WeldsGroove Welds • A groove weld is “ a weld made in a groove between the work pieces” • There are eight types of groove welds • Square-groove • Scarf • V-groove • Bevel-groove • U-groove • J-groove • Flare-v-groove • Flare-bevel-groove

  5. Groove Welds Square and double square-groove welds • Square-groove welds are the most economical to use, but are limited by thickness of the members • Welds for one side are normally limited to a 1/4 inch or less

  6. Groove WeldsV-and double V-groove welds • With thicker materials joint accessibility must be provided for welding to ensure weld soundness and strength

  7. Groove WeldsBevel- and double-bevel-groove welds • Bevel- and J- groove welds are more difficult to weld than V- or U- groove welds • Bevel welds are easier in horizontal

  8. Types of Welds U-groove and Double U-groove • Welds in using J- and U-grooves can be used to minimize weld metal • These welds are very useful in thicker sections

  9. Groove WeldsJ-and double-J-groove welds • J-groove are more difficult to weld because of the one vertical side (except in horizontal) • J-and U- are used when economic factors outweigh the cost of edge preparation

  10. Groove Weldsflare-bevel and flare-v-groove welds • Flare -bevel and flare-v-groove welds are used in connection with flanged or rounded member

  11. Groove WeldsScarf • Scarf is used for brazing

  12. Groove Welds • Their names imply what the actual configurations look like when viewed in a cross section • Single groove welds are welded from only one side • Double groove welds are welded on both sides • Groove welds in many combinations are used selection is influenced by accessibility, economy, adaptation to structural design
