Types of Welding

There are several types of butt welding joints including single V, double V, square, single J, double J, single U, and double U joints. Butt welding involves placing two pieces of metal end to end without overlap and welding along the joint. Types of butt joints differ in the shape of the weld groove formed by the combination of the joined metal pieces. Fillet welding forms a triangular shaped weld and is used to connect pipes and flanges. Other joint types discussed include tee joints, lap joints, and corner joints. A full penetration weld completely penetrates the root of the joint.

Types of welding

Butt welding:
Butt welding is when two pieces of metal are placed end-to-end without overlap and then welded
along the joint (as opposed to lap joint weld where one piece of metal is laid on top of the other or plug welding
where one piece of metal is inserted into the other). Importantly, in a butt joint, the surfaces of the workpieces
being joined are on the same plane and the weld metal remains within the planes of the surfaces.

Types of butt joint:

Single v butt joint:


A V-shaped weld groove formed by the combination of (a) butting members having single-bevel edge
shapes, (b) butting and non butting members having planar surfaces arranged to form a groove, or (c) a V-
shaped groove in the surface of a member.

Double v butt joint:


A double welded butt joint is created when the weld has been welded from both sides. With double
welding, the depths of each weld can vary slightly. A closed weld is a type of joint in which the two pieces
that will be joined are touching during the welding process.

Square type butt joint:


The square-groove is a butt-welding joint with the two pieces being flat and parallel to each other. ...
The closed square butt weld is a type of square-groove joint with no spacing in between the pieces. This
joint type is common with gas and arc welding.
Sigle j butt joint:
J-joints — Single-J butt welds are when one piece of the weld is in the shape of a J that easily accepts filler
material

Double j butt joint:

U type butt joint:


Single-U butt welds are welds that have both edges of the weld surface shaped like a J, but once they
come together, they form U. Double-U joints have a U formation on both the top and bottom of the
prepared joint. U-joints are the most expensive edge to prepare and weld.

Single u type butt joint:

Double u type butt joint:


Fillet welding:

The weld is triangular in shape and may have a concave, flat or convex surface depending on the
welder's technique. Welders use fillet welds when connecting flanges to pipes and welding
cross sections of infrastructure, and when bolts are not strong enough and will wear off easily.

Tee joint:
Tee welding joints are formed when two pieces intersect at a 90° angle. This results in the edges
coming together in the centre of a plate or component in a 'T' shape. Tee joints are considered to be a type
of fillet weld, and they can also be formed when a tube or pipe is welded onto a base plate.

Lap joint:
Lap welding joints are essentially a modified version of the butt joint. They are formed when two pieces
of metal are placed in an overlapping pattern on top of each other. They are most commonly used to joint
two pieces with differing thicknesses together. Welds can be made on one or both sides

Corner joint:

Corner joint welding refers to instances in which two materials meet in the “corner” to form an L-
shape. You can use corner joints to construct sheet metal parts, including frames, boxes, and similar
applications. Different weld types can include: Fillet weld.
Full penetration welding:
A full penetration weld is a type of weld that has completely consumed the root of the joint. A full
penetration weld is often a requirement for joints that will be subjected to high stresses because it typically
has higher strengths than a partial penetration weld.
