This document discusses weld joint geometry and welding symbols. It describes the different types of welds including groove welds, fillet welds, and others. Groove welds are welds made in a groove between work pieces and there are eight types including square, V, bevel, U, J, flare-V, and flare-bevel grooves. The document explains each groove weld type and when they are best used based on considerations like thickness, accessibility, and structural design.

• Numerous welds can be applied to the
various types of joints • Considerations when choosing joint geometry and weld types: – accessibility to the joint for welding – type of welding process being used – suitability to the structural design – cost of welding Types of Welds
• There are nine categories of welds
associated with weld symbols – Groove welds – Fillet Welds – Plug or Slot welds – Stud welds – Spot or projection welds – Seam welds – Back Or Backing welds – Surfacing welds – Flange Welds Types of Welds Groove Welds • A groove weld is “ a weld made in a groove between the work pieces” • There are eight types of groove welds – Square-groove – Scarf – V-groove – Bevel-groove – U-groove – J-groove – Flare-v-groove – Flare-bevel-groove Groove Welds Square and double square- groove welds
• Square-groove welds are the most economical to
use, but are limited by thickness of the members • Welds for one side are normally limited to a 1/4 inch or less Groove Welds V-and double V-groove welds
•With thicker materials joint accessibility
must be provided for welding to ensure weld soundness and strength Groove Welds Bevel- and double-bevel- groove welds
• Bevel- and J- groove welds are more difficult to
weld than V- or U- groove welds • Bevel welds are easier in horizontal Types of Welds U-groove and Double U-groove • Welds in using J- and U- grooves can be used to minimize weld metal • These welds are very useful in thicker sections Groove Welds J-and double-J-groove welds • J-groove are more difficult to weld because of the one vertical side (except in horizontal) • J-and U- are used when economic factors outweigh the cost of edge preparation Groove Welds flare-bevel and flare-v-groove welds • Flare -bevel and flare-v-groove welds are used in connection with flanged or rounded member Groove Welds Scarf • Scarf is used for brazing Groove Welds • Their names imply what the actual configurations look like when viewed in a cross section • Single groove welds are welded from only one side • Double groove welds are welded on both sides • Groove welds in many combinations are used selection is influenced by accessibility, economy, adaptation to structural design
