soldadura o el metal de relleno con el que está soldando). Aquí es donde
quieres que tu metal de relleno penetre y se funda.

2. Pata de soldadura de filete : la longitud de la 'pierna' de la soldadura de filete

es desde la 'punta' de la soldadura de filete hasta la raíz de la junta.Cada filete
de soldadura tiene 2 patas. 

3. Raíz de soldadura: Como puede ver en el diagrama de una soldadura de

arriba, la raíz de una soldadura es donde la parte inferior o inferior de una
soldadura cruza la superficie del metal base.

4. Garganta de soldadura de filete: cuando se habla de la garganta de una

soldadura, hay dos a considerar: 1) garganta de soldadura teórica 2) garganta
de soldadura real. 

La garganta teórica es donde se toma la distancia del espacio perpendicular

desde la raíz de la soldadura y el lado más largo de un triángulo rectángulo (la
hipotenusa) del triángulo derecho que puede crear dentro de la sección
transversal de una soldadura de filete. 

La garganta de soldadura real es simplemente donde usted toma el espacio

entre la raíz de la soldadura de filete hasta el centro de la cara de la soldadura
(la sección transversal de) y la mide.

5. Cara de soldadura: esta es la soldadura que crea en el lado de las piezas de

metal que está soldando utilizando cualquier proceso de soldadura por gas o

READING: Mechanical Properties of Metals Definition

The measurable properties that allow a metal to resist external forces without
failing are its mechanical properties. Heat can alter the mechanical properties of
any metal like making a soft metal hard and then soft again. Fusing metals with
compatible mechanical properties is an important welding skill because it can affect
the product.

General Mechanical Properties of Metals

Following are some of the most common mechanical properties of metals.

1.-Hardness

A material’s power to resist a permanent change in shape when acted upon by an

external force is known as hardness. 2 For example, hard metals are used to make
drills and files. Heat can decrease the hardness of some metals, and cold can
increase it in others. A metal’s hardness can be used to identify its strength and
quality of heat treatment. 3

2.-Brittleness

Brittleness is the likelihood that a material will fail or fracture under a relatively
small shock, force, or impact. 4 Hardness and brittleness have a direct relationship
as a metal’s hardness is increased so does its brittleness. A brittle material cracks
in a way that it could be put back together without any deformation.

3.-Ductility

When you bend a piece of aluminum foil, it usually remains that way because it is
ductile. Ductility is the capability of a metal to be permanently bent, twisted, or
otherwise manipulated without breaking or cracking. Soft steel, copper, aluminum,
and zinc are all considered ductile metals. 5

4.-Toughness

Toughness is the capacity of a metal to not break when a significant force is

applied. 6

5.-Strength

A metal’s ability to resist deformation is known as its strength. Strength is

quantified in four ways:

 Tensile Strength: A metal’s ability to resist forces attempting to pull it apart.

51
  Compressive Strength: The capability of a metal to withstand being crushed.
 Shear Strength: The capacity of a metal to tolerate forces trying to slice or cut it
apart.
 Torsional strength: The ability of a metal to resist forces attempting to twist it. 7

Why Welders Need to Know the Mechanical Properties of Metals

Students may get some basic knowledge of the mechanical properties of metals
during their welding training. This knowledge can allow a welder to determine the
range of usefulness of a metal and the service that can be expected from it. 8 It can
also enable a welder to construct a safe, sound structure that meets engineering
specifications.

PRACTICE: TRANSLATE THIS READING AND THEN ANSWER THE

FOLLOWING QUESTIONS

1.- HOW MANY MECHANICAL PROPERTIES ARE MENTIONED IN THIS

ARTICLE?.

……………………………………………………………………………………………

……………………………………………………………………………………………..

2.- Why is it important for welders to know the mechanical properties of metals?
