Design of Welded Joints

Welding is a fusion process, in which metal parts


are heated to the melting point and fused
together, usually with a filler of the same material
melted along with the parent material.
Welds are designed on the following two
assumptions:
1. Load is uniformly distributed along the
entire length of weld
2. Stress is also distributed uniformly

Advantages

1. Light in weight
2. Efficiency of the joint can be as high as 100%
3. Lower Cost
4. Ease of fabrication
5. Less noisy
6. Air Tight & Water Tight
7. Stronger than riveted joint
8. Can also be used as a repair medium

07/02/2021 Machine Design & Cad-II 3


Disadvantages

1. Cost of holding parts used in welding


2. Cost of welding material and equipment
3. Skilled labor is required
4. Metallurgical changes due to temp
5. The residual stresses may distort the part
6. The fatigue life of a weld is often less than the
base material

Filler Metals
Filler metal rods and wires are designated by a system
established by the American Welding Society (AWS).

Residual Stresses
 The uneven heating and cooling in welding operations
gives rise to significant residual stresses in the vicinity of
the weld
 The residual stresses may distort the part
 The residual stresses and discontinuities in a weld have a
significant influence on the fatigue life of a part
 The fatigue life of a weld is often less than the base
material
 Residual stresses are influenced by the % carbon found in
the material being joined
 Residual stresses may be removed by annealing

the joint is triangular

Throat of weld
