Exploratory/Specialization Course : SHIELDED METAL ARC WELDING

Week: 1 ; Quarter: 1st ; School Year 2021-2022

Name: _______________________; Grade/Section: 12 ;Date ____________

I – Lesson: Weld carbon steel plates in flat position-1F

II – Learning Outcome(s) :define fillet welds, identify the types of fillet joints,

III – Performance Standards: The learner independently Weld carbon steel

plates in flat position-1F
IV – Information:

If it’s made of metal – it can be welded. From cars to planes and bridges to
buildings, welding keeps our economy moving. It’s the backbone of our world.
While we don’t always notice every weld under the hood or behind the walls,
welding plays an integral role in keeping people safe and advancing our quality
of life.

Fillet welds are some of the most widely used joints in the welding field. Since
fillet welds are used so frequently, there are several factors that you should
consider before fabricating such weld. The skills you develop in welding can
lead you countless opportunities in a variety of industries to a more lucrative
and rewarding careers. Are you ready to take your first step?
In this lesson, you will discover the knowledge, skills and attitudes in
performing fillet weld on carbon steel plates in flat- fillet position (1F).
.
At the end of this lesson, you are expected to perform fillet weld on carbon steel
plates in flat- fillet position (1F) based on acceptable welding standards.
There are three (3) types of fillet joints:
Lap Joint is frequently used in all kinds of work, which may be single- fillet lap
joint or double fillet lap joint. Single fillet lap joint should not be used if root of
joint is to be subjected to bending. This type of joint should never replace the
butt joint on works under severe load.
Corner joint is a weld joint formed when two joint members are positioned at
an approximate 90 degrees angle with the weld joint at the outside of the joint
members. Heavier plate can be welded if the load is not severe and there is no
bending action at the root of the weld. No preparation is needed and fit up is
usually simple. Half open corner joint may be used on 12 gauge up to 4.5mm.
Full open joint can be cut absolutely square and suitable clamping and holding
devices are needed to facilitate fit up.
Tee Joint is a welding joint at the junction of two parts located approximately
at right angles to each other in the form of a T. In terms of welding, thicker
metals at the edge to be joined should be beveled. No preparation of edges is
necessary for thinner plates and fit up can be fast and economical.

In general, fillet welds are economical, easy to fabricate and require very simple
preparation of the materials being joined. Fillet weld strength is directly
proportional to its length and throat dimension. The volume of weld material,
and therefore the cost, is proportional to the square of the weld leg.

Can you imagine now a world without fillet weld? What do you think will
happen to our vehicles, airplanes, ships, cars, buildings, telecommunication
lines, etc? What will happen to our economy? to our people in their daily lives?
ACTIVITY :
4 PICS 1 WORD: Getting To Know WELD
Direction: In this activity, four (4) photos will be shown in a grid, all of which
share one (1) word in common. Your goal is to figure out the common word
based on word length, which is provided to you, and a selection of possible
letters beside the photos.

Activity 2
SCRAMBLED LETTERS: Main Fillet Weld Parts
Direction: Below is a picture of a fillet weld with its parts. To accomplish the
task, you need to rearrange the scrambled letters to form the parts of a fillet
weld. Write your answer on the space provided before the number.
