Poor joint design can negate even the most optimum welding conditions. The main consideration in weld joint design of Ne-iCo-base alloys is to provide sufficient accesshilly and space for ‘movement ofthe welding electrode oiler metal. Slightly diferent weld joint geometies are required ‘comparedto those for carbon or stainless steal: in particular, a larger included weld angle, wider root ‘opening (gap), and reduced land (rot face) thickness are typcaly required “The most important characteristic that must be understood when considering weld joint design Is that N- ‘and Co-base mote weld metals relatively “skiggish’, meaning that it does not flow or spread out as ‘eadly to "wer the sidewalls ofthe weld joint. Therefore, care must be taken ta ensure that the jolt ‘opening is wide enough to alow proper electrode manipulation and placement ofthe weld bead to achieve proper weld bead tie-in and fusion. The welding are and filer metal must be manipulated in order to place the molten metal where itis needed. The joint design shoul allow forthe fst wold bead to be deposited witha convex surface. An included weld angle or root opening tat i to narrow promotes the formation of @ concave weld bead that places the weld surface in tension and promotes sliifeation ‘racking inthe weld metal ‘Additonal, wold ponetraton is signiteantly less than tat of atypical carbon or stainless stel. This charactrstie requires tho use of reduced lan thickness atthe root af the joint compared to carbon and lainioss stool. Since this isan inrent property of N-ICo-base alloy, increasing weld current will not ‘signiicanly improve thei shallow weld penetration characteris. ‘Typical but joint dosign that ao used withthe gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), gas metal ae welding (GMAW), and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) processes are: () Square-Groove, (i) Single-V-Groove, ‘and (il) Double-V-Groove, as ehown in Figure 1. Gas tungsten are welding is often the preferred method {or depositing the root pass for square-groove or single-V-groove joints, whe ther is access to only one ‘ido of th joint. The remainder ofthe jint can then be filed using other welding processes as ‘appropiate. Fo! gtoove welds on heavy section plates grater than 2/4 inch (19 mm) thick, Jegroove Ie permissible. Such a joint reduces the amount o llr metal and Lime required ta complete the weld.
