The 5 basic joints
Butt,lap,corne,edge,tee (BCTEL)
The four weld types
1 surfacing, 2 plug or slot,3 fillet 4 groove
Which is the only wled that has a 2 step process
Surfaceing
What are surfacing welds used for
Whenever a wear surface can be reclaimed economically, or to repair earth moving equipment to it’s original thickness
What are plug and slot welds most common on
Lap joints
Plug or slot welds can be fillet welded to?
Add additional strength where required
Fillet welds are found on what joint types
Tee, lap, corner (TLC)
What is the size of a fillet weld determined by
Length of the largest egual leg
The size of an unequal fillet weld leg is determined by
The shortest leg
4 variations of fillet welds?
1 continuous
2 intermittent
3 chain intermittent
4 staggered intermittent
Which fillet weld variation is used where max. Strength/rigidity is required
Continuous fillet weld on both sides of the joint
The center to center distance of a fillet weld is known as the
Pitch
