Weld design - WELDING ANSWERS
Mar 6, 2024 · M any fabricators can lower their welding costs significantly if they paid close attention to weld sizes. If a print calls for a ¼” fillet weld and in production you make a 5/16” fillet weld, you are overwelding by 56%! If the print calls for a 3/16” fillet, the 5/16” fillet weld you deposit would be […]
root penetration | WELDING ANSWERS
W hen weld sizes are determined by design engineers, the theoretical throat is used to calculate weld strength which in turn gives our leg size (for fillet welds). This means that the desired strength of a weld is achieved only if we attain fusion to the root and side walls. The terms fusion and penetration are used […]

What To Do When Welding Codes Are Not Clear
Sep 29, 2022 · For example, the Design Clause of AWS D1.1 states that for lap joints where the metal thickness is ¼-inch or greater there is a maximum fillet weld size equal to t – 1/16-inch, where t is the thickness of the base metal, as shown below.

The goal is not just to help you solve a welding problem, but to teach the concepts and theory behind it. Understanding why a recommended solution worked is just as important as solving the problem. This guide addresses the most common weld discontinuities and defects as well as the most common welding equipment problems.
