1. Metal thickness of ¾” or greater for fillet welds sometimes employs a double vee bevel of 50 deg or
greater included vee with 3/32 to 1/8 inch land thickness on the abutting member.
2. Electrode consumption given for weld on one side only and based on leg length equal to plate
thickness.
3. For 5XXX series electrodes use a welding current in the high side of the range given and an arc
voltage in the lower portion of the range. 1XXX, 2XXX, and 4XXX series electrodes would use the
lower currents and higher arc voltages.
