Types of weld joints
Here are only five basic types of weld joints: The Corner Joint, butt joint, Edge Joint, Lap Joint, and T-Joint, the most common additions would be
Described in terms of their uses, advantages, and
disadvantages, combined preparation and economy.
Four basic weld types.
They are bead (surface) weld, fillet weld, groove weld,
and plug (slot) weld.
Welds are single-pass deposits of metal, as illustrated in
a. Bead weld is used to make metal pads
and to replace metal on worn surfaces.
• Fillet weld in weld consists of one or more beads
Deposited at right angles formed by the two plates as Fillet welds take up a triangular cross-section due to the space placed at the weld joint. weld symbol

A fillet weld is shown in an important aspect
A weld has its profile. The weld face can be convex,
concave, or flat. This aspect is important when determining
the size of fillet welds, which will be covered later.
