    1. Weld Types - Lap Weld UVU CRT 2009

    2. Lap Weld Many automotive structural panels are assembled using a lap joint. Technicians must make test welds visually inspect destructively test “before welding on the vehicle” UVU CRT 2009

    3. Lap Weld Example UVU CRT 2009

    4. Lap Weld Fit Up UVU CRT 2009

    5. Lap Weld You should now have an understanding of what a lap weld is and where it is used. The next step is to tune the welder and perform a lap weld that will be evaluated visually and destructively. UVU CRT 2009

    6. Lap Weld – In Class Assignment Joins two pieces of overlapped metal Used for sectioning rails and pillars Always follow manufacturers recommendation UVU CRT 2009

    7. Getting Ready to Weld Set one 3”x5” coupon on top of the other. Overlap ˝ way. Mark 1” to 1.5” in the center of the coupon. The crimp is not necessary on these coupons. UVU CRT 2009

    8. Gun Position The proper gun to work piece angle for a lap joint is 70 degrees off the surface. Angle the wire into the top piece UVU CRT 2009

    9. Tune the Welder Make sure to “Tune the Welder” by making practice welds on the same material that will be used for the final weld. Make the necessary voltage and wire speed adjustments and check for proper penetration before beginning the final weld. UVU CRT 2009

    10. Lab Assignment Print off the Lap Weld “Task Performance Sheet” Set up and tune the welder. Set up and mark the coupons for the weld. Perform the Lap Weld. Visually inspect the weld. Destructively test the weld. UVU CRT 2009

    11. Visual Inspection UVU CRT 2009

    12. Using I-Car’s WQT Gauge I-Car has provided a gauge to help in visually inspecting welds for: bead length width height penetration defects UVU CRT 2009

    13. Using I-Car’s WQT Gauge UVU CRT 2009

    14. Lap Weld Visual UVU CRT 2009

    15. Record the Results After the visual inspection is complete record the results on the task performance sheet and have the instructor verify your results. Now the destructive test will need to be performed. UVU CRT 2009

    16. Destructive Weld Test Secure bottom coupon in vise. Bend top piece back and forth until the coupons separate. The metal should break along the length of the weld. UVU CRT 2009

    17. Destructive Test UVU CRT 2009

    18. Weld When the welds pass the visual and destructive test observe the final voltage and wire speed setting. Have the instructor check off your task performance sheet. Complete your final weld series in the flat vertical and overhead position. Turn these in for final grading. UVU CRT 2009
