What is Welding?
Classifications of Welds
Welding, technique used for joining metallic parts usually through the application of heat. This technique
was discovered during efforts to manipulate iron into useful shapes. (britannica.com)
Welding is the process by which two pieces of metal can be joined together. The process of welding
doesn't merely bond the two pieces together as in brazing and soldering, but, through the use of extreme
heat and sometimes the addition of other metals or gases, causes the metallic structures of the two
pieces to join together and become one. (M. Aguilar | brighthubengineering.com)
Welding is a process by which metallic parts are connected by heating their surfaces to a plastic or fluid
state and allowing the parts to flow together and join (with or without the addition of other molten
metal). (J.C. McCormac & S.F. Csernak | Structural Steel Design 5th Ed.)
TYPES OF WELDING PROCESS
TYPES OF WELDING PROCESS
Arc welding involves the use of a power supply and electrodes in order to form a welding arc
between the electrode and the material being welded (usually metal), in order to melt the materials, allowing
them to cool and fuse together. This method is probably the most popular type of welding process since it
includes many of the most popular types of welding, such as MIG, TIG, and Stick welding. Arc welding is divided
into consumable and non-consumable electrode methods.

CLASSIFICATIONS OF WELDS
CLASSIFICATIONS OF WELDS
BASED ON THE TYPES OF WELDS MADE
Fillet Welds – those made where parts lap over each other.
Groove Welds – used when the members to be connection
lined up in the same plane. It can be either complete-
penetration welds, which extend for the full thickness of the
part being connected, or partial-penetration welds, which
extend for only part of the member thickness.
Plug Welds – a circular weld that passes through one member
into another, thus joining the two together.
Slots Welds – a weld formed in a slot, or elongated hole, that
joins one member to the other through the slot. The slot may
be partyl or fully filled with weld material.

EFFECTS OF WELDING TECHNOLOGY ON THE
OCCURRENCE OF FRACTURE IN WELDED JOINTS (2018)
The selection of filler material can affect the distribution of stresses and
strain in welded joints. In this way, it is possible to avoid the localization
of strain in welded joint parts with lower deformability, or to localize the
strain in welded joint parts with high deformability. By doing so, the
probability of crack initiation and growth, i.e. fracture is reduced.
Parent material temperature increases along the groove edge, due to its
heating via the arc. This temperature increase affects the cooling time
t8/5 in the same way as the increasing of preheating
or interpass temperatures. Cooling times t8/5 are shortest at the start
of a welded joint and increase in duration towards their end.
