    This document discusses different types of welds, focusing on groove welds. It describes 8 types of groove welds including square, V, bevel, U, J, flare-V, and flare-bevel grooves. Each type of groove weld has a different configuration that is suited to different thicknesses of materials and levels of accessibility. Groove welds can be single or double and their selection depends on factors like accessibility, economy, and structural design requirements.

    The key takeaways are that there are different types of welds used for various joints based on factors like accessibility, welding process, structural design, and cost. The main types discussed are groove welds and fillet welds.

    The different types of welds discussed are groove welds, fillet welds, plug or slot welds, stud welds, spot or projection welds, seam welds, back or backing welds, surfacing welds, and flange welds.

    The different types of groove welds discussed are square-groove, scarf, V-groove, bevel-groove, U-groove, J-groove, flare-V-groove, and flare-bevel-groove welds.

    Types of Welds

    • 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
