Joint: The junction of the workpiece(s) that are to be joined or have been joined.
Faying surface: The mating surface of a workpiece in contact with or in close
proximity to another workpiece to which it is to be joined.

Groove Weld Terminology
Groove weld: a weld made in the groove between two members to be joined
To describe the geometry need data such as:
♦♦ plate thickness
♦♦ bevel or groove angle
♦♦ groove radius of a J-groove
♦♦ root face and
♦♦ root opening

Fillet Welds
♦♦ Most commonly used type of weld
♦♦ Does not require special preparation
♦♦ Joins two surfaces usually at right
angles
♦♦ Made in lap joints, tee joints or
corner joints
♦♦ Effective throat – the shortest
distance from the root of the weld
to its face, less any convexity.

♦♦ ease of laying beads
♦♦ efficiency
♦♦ selection of filler
♦♦ welding process

JS1.1 Slide 26
Joint Design and Symbols Copyright © 2014-2109 CWB Group Industry Services. For instructor use only.

Joint Design and Symbols Copyright © 2014-2109 CWB Group Industry Services. For instructor use only.
Joint Selection
There are two important principles in the design of welded joints:
♦♦ Safe performance under service conditions – requires consideration of the
properties of the steel used and of the loading conditions
♦♦ Economy of welding – requires optimization of the joint preparation for
welding.

JS1.1 Slide 29
Joint Design and Symbols Copyright © 2014-2109 CWB Group Industry Services. For instructor use only.
Joint Geometry
Factors to consider in selecting the groove geometry include:
♦♦ The welding process: operational features, penetration characteristics,
positions of welding
♦♦ Material thickness
♦♦ Positioning for welding
♦♦ Minimizing volume of deposited weld metal but still allowing for proper
access

JS1.1 Slide 30
Joint Design and Symbols Copyright © 2014-2109 CWB Group Industry Services. For instructor use only.
Joint Geometry
♦♦ Use of pre-qualified joints
♦♦ Fit-up tolerances and factors affecting workmanship
♦♦ Control of distortion and shrinkage
♦♦ Minimizing material handling

Square Groove Welds
♦♦ Economical for thinner thicknesses and
for arc welding processes
♦♦ Careful procedural control is necessary
to obtain a reliable degree of joint
penetration FIG2121 Butt joint with zero root opening
♦♦ Increasing the root opening increases
the depth of joint penetration.
♦♦ If the root opening is too wide, the
molten weld metal will drop through
due to gravity.

V- and Bevel-Groove Welds
♦♦ Single V- and single-bevel groove welds are economical for thicknesses less
than or equal to 20 mm (3/4 in).
♦♦ The bevel-groove has an advantage over the V-groove because only one part
has to be prepared—fusion is more difficult.
♦♦ Pipe splices are a typical application of single V-groove welds—typically
welded from one side, with a standard groove angle of 75°.
♦♦ Double V- and double-bevel groove welds are suitable for thicknesses from
20 mm to 40 mm (3/4 in to 1½ in) thickness

JS1.1 Slide 35
Joint Design and Symbols Copyright © 2014-2109 CWB Group Industry Services. For instructor use only.
J- and U- Groove Welds
♦♦ Single and double J-groove welds
generally require less volume of weld
metal than bevel grooves, prone to
incomplete fusion
♦♦ Seldom used in structural work
FIG2424 Advantage of J-preparation
♦♦ Single and double U-groove welds
require less volume of weld metal than
J-grooves—must be machined except for
shallow U- grooves for back welding

FIG2525 Advantage of U-preparation

JS1.1 Slide 36
Joint Design and Symbols Copyright © 2014-2109 CWB Group Industry Services. For instructor use only.
Heat Dissipation
♦♦ Welding heat will dissipate from a joint at
a rate that will depend on the thickness
and the conductivity of the metal.
♦♦ As the plate becomes thicker and the
path of conductivity increases—increase
the total heat input.

Joints with Backing
Joints with backing are welded from one side onto a backing bar. The backing bar
is a separate piece of metal that the weld fuses to.
Backing is used:

specify a V-groove weld made into a 45° groove with a 6 mm (1/4 in) root
opening. The V-groove is to be 12 mm (1/2 in) deep and the weld is to penetrate
2 mm (3/32 in) into the backing bar.
The welding symbols in the bottom figure specify removable backing made
from ASTM A36 steel. They specify a bevel groove weld made into a 30° bevel
with a 10 mm (3/8 in) root opening. The bevel is to be 12 mm (1/2 in) deep, the
full thickness of the plate, and the weld is to penetrate 2 mm (3/32 in) into the
backing bar.
