Types of Weld
Butt weld: the strongest type against tension: square edge for less than 6 mm, V type for (6-20
mm), and a U-weld results in less welding material but more expensive edge preparation.
Fillet welding is used for right anlge and lapped plates, the throat thickness, T, is 70% of the leg
length, L. Full penetration is used for special strength requirements.

Welding Processes
There are numerous types of welding operations, including brazing, thermal cutting, and gauging, in
commercial use.
Welding is the process joining of two metal parts by melting the parts at the joint and filling the
space with molten metal. If the accuracy of fabrication and assembly of hull structures is
measurably improved, productivity will rise respectively, and effective mechanization and
automation of production can be achieved. Although there are numerous variations, welded joints
are typically either butt welds or fillet welds. Butt welds join two members lying approximately in
the same and fillet welds join surfaces at approximately right angles to one another.
In welding and similar operations, such as brazing, thermal cutting, and gauging, the most
frequently used method for generating heat is obtained either from an electric arc or a gas-oxygen
flame. The most commonly used processes are described below.

electrode, shielding gas, and welding variables. Compared with shielded metal arc welding
(SMAW), the deposition rates and welding rates are higher for GMAW. Also, the continuous
electrode feed makes long welds possible without stops and starts. On the downside, the equipment
for GMAW is more complex, more expensive, and less portable than the SMAW process.

and electrodes for FCAW are more expensive than SMAW, and the slag covering produced must be
removed.

Medium and heavy fabrication industries use the SAW process for fillet and main butt joints in
pipe, cylinders, pressure vessels, columns, and beams. Generally, the welding head is fully
automatic and mounted on a manipulator or carriage; however, for fillet welding hand held torches
are available. Although SAW is limited to the downhand and horizontal positions, these positions
can be utilized by informed design and job positioning. The process is also restricted by the high
proportion of time needed to align the torch with the joint. Since the arc operates in a cavity under
the flux, the FFR of this process is extremely low. Hence, changes in operating variables have little
effect on the rate of the fume formation if the flux cover is adequate.

Weld Distortion
Intermediate and chain weld ing is used to save material and reduce weight. Continues weld is
used only for oiltight ness and important strength connection.
Welding distortion occurs due to heating of areas of plating then cooling of these areas.
Distortion also occurs due to the difference between deposited weld metal and parent metal.
