RM01 - 25 Design of Weld Joint

This document discusses various types of weld joints and welds including butt, corner, lap, tee, and edge joints as well as fillet, groove, plug and slot, spot and seam, and flange and surfacing welds. It describes butt welds which join two pieces of metal in the same plane and fillet welds which join surfaces at angles. The document also covers weld joint preparation including fit up and groove geometry as well as welding sequence and the heat affected zone around welds.

Design of Weld Joint

TYPES OF Weld Joint AND WELDS


• Types of Joints
– Butt joint
– Corner joint
– Lap joint
– Tee joint
– Edge joint
• Types of Welds
– Fillet weld
– Groove weld
– Plug and slot welds
– Spot and Seam welds
– Flange and Surfacing welds
-----T joint----
Butt welds : A butt weld is made between two pieces of metal usually in
the same plane, the weld metal maintaining continuity between the
sections. weld metal is generally contained within the profiles of the welded
elements
Fillet welds : These welds are roughly triangular in cross section and
between two surfaces not in the same plane and the weld metal is
substantially placed alongside the components being joined. Deposited weld
metal is external to the profile of the welded elements

WELD JOINT PREPARATION.

Weld joint fit up before welding. The weld groove which is to
be filled by welding can be seen.

HEAT AFFECTED ZONE

When the weld pool is cooling


and solidifying, the majority of
the heat flows through the parent
metal alongside the joint. The
steel is thus subjected to heating
and cooling cycles similar to
those experienced in heat
treatment practice.

As shown in Figure 7, the


structure of the steel will be
changed in this region
(called the heat affected
zone, HAZ)
HEAT AFFECTED ZONE

The structure of the HAZ will be controlled by:


•the composition of the steel (carbon equivalent).
•the cooling rate in the HAZ.

In turn the cooling rate is determined by:


•arc energy, i.e. heat input to the joint.
•type of joint.
•thickness of steel.
•temperature of steel plate or section prior to
welding, e.g. preheat
