Kutni spoj moe biti izveden zavarivanjem samo s jedne strane ili s obje strane, a predstavlja

prikladno rjeenje i za zavarivanje relativno debljih dijelova. Izvedba kutnog spoja mogua je bez
skoavanja stranice ruba zavarivanog elementa, a isto tako s jednostranim ili dvostranim skoenjem.
Kutni spoj s jednostranim skoenjem obino se koristi kod spajanja limova debljine do 12 mm, kada
se zavarivanje izvodi samo s jedne strane, dok su kutni spojevi s dvostranim skoenjem primjereni
za debljine do 40 mm, pa i vie. Butt welds are welds where two pieces of metal are to be joined are
in the same plane.[1] These types of welds require only some preparation and are used with thin sheet
metals that can be welded with a single pass.[2] Common issues that can weaken a butt weld are the
entrapment of slag, excessive porosity, or cracking. For strong welds, the goal is to use the least
amount of welding material possible. Butt welds are prevalent in automated welding processes, such
as submerged-arc welding, due to their relative ease of preparation. [3] When metals are welded
without human guidance, there is no operator to make adjustments for non-ideal joint preparation.
Because of this necessity, butt welds can be utilized for their simplistic design to be fed through
automated welding machines efficiently.
