 Lesson Weld Carbon Steel Plates in Flat
1 Position (1F)

What I Need to Know

If it’s made of metal – it can be welded. From cars to planes and bridges to buildings,
welding keeps our economy moving. It’s the backbone of our world. While we don’t always
notice every weld under the hood or behind the walls, welding plays an integral role in
keeping people safe and advancing our quality of life.

Activity 1
4 PICS 1 WORD: Getting To Know WELD
Direction: In this activity, four (4) photos will be shown in a grid, all of which share
one (1) word in common. Your goal is to figure out the common word based on word length,
which is provided to you, and a selection of possible letters beside the photos.

 What Is It

What do the photos below tell you? Yes! Fillet Weld. A fillet weld is a weld type in
the cross-sectional shape of a triangle. It is the most popular and commonly used weld in
industry. Can you name one?

123

There are three (3) types of fillet joints:

Lap Joint is frequently used in all kinds of work, which may be single- fillet lap joint
or double fillet lap joint. Single fillet lap joint should not be used if root of joint is to be
subjected to bending. This type of joint should never replace the butt joint on works under
severe load.

Corner joint is a weld joint formed when two joint members are positioned at an
approximate 90 degrees angle with the weld joint at the outside of the joint members.
Heavier plate can be welded if the load is not severe and there is no bending action at the
root of the weld. No preparation is needed and fit up is usually simple. Half open corner
joint may be used on 12 gauge up to 4.5mm. Full open joint can be cut absolutely square
and suitable clamping and holding devices are needed to facilitate fit up.

Tee Joint is a welding joint at the junction of two parts located approximately at
right angles to each other in the form of a T. In terms of welding, thicker metals at the edge
to be joined should be beveled. No preparation of edges is necessary for thinner plates
and fit up can be fast and economical.

Can you now identify the weld joints as seen on the photos above?
 In general, fillet welds are economical, easy to fabricate and require very simple
preparation of the materials being joined. Fillet weld strength is directly proportional to its
length and throat dimension. The volume of weld material, and therefore the cost, is
proportional to the square of the weld leg.

Lap JointCorner JointTee Joint

Can you imagine now a world without fillet weld? What do you think will happen to
our vehicles, airplanes, ships, cars, buildings, telecommunication lines, etc? What will
happen to our economy? to our people in their daily lives?

Add-on Task: .Research on the many forms of beveling edges for T-joint such as single
bevel, double bevel, single J bevel, and double J bevel.

Activity 2
SCRAMBLED LETTERS: Main Fillet Weld Parts

Direction: Below is a picture of a fillet weld with its parts. To accomplish the task, you
need to rearrange the scrambled letters to form the parts of a fillet weld. Write your answer
on the space provided before the number.

1. ELG- It is the distance from the joint root to the weld toe.

2. TORO- It is the area where the filler metal intersects the base metal
opposite the face.
3. EACF- It is the exposed surface of a weld and it can be flat, convex or
concave.
4. ETO- It is the intersection of the base metal and the weld face.

5. HTTRAO- It is the distance from the face of a fillet weld to the weld root.
 What Is It

Fillet welds join two base materials positioned at an almost right angle by using
triangular welds. The strength quality of weld joint has a close relationship with joint efficiency.
Now, let’s try to identify the different parts of a fillet weld to ensure strength quality of weld joint.

A. Weld root is the area where the filler metal intersects the base metal
opposite the face.

B. Weld face is the exposed surface of a weld, bounded by the weld toes of the side
on which welding was done. The weld face of a fillet weld maybe concave or
convex.

C. Weld toe is the intersection of the base metal and the weld face. It is the point at
which the weld face meets the base metal.

D. Fillet weld leg is the

distance from the joint
root to the weld toe. The
joint root is the part of a
joint to be welded where
the members are closest
to each other.

E. The fillet weld throat

may refer to the actual
throat, effective throat, or
theoretical throat.
• Actual throat is the
shortest distance
from the face of a
fillet weld
to the weld root after
welding.
• Effective throat is the shortest distance from the face of a fillet
weld to the weld root, minus any convexity after welding.
• Theoretical throat is the distance from the face of a fillet weld to
the weld root before welding.

F. Weld interface is the area where the filler metal and the base metal
are mixed together.

G. Fusion face is the surface of the base metal that is melted during welding.

H. Depth of fusion is the distance from the fusion face to the weld interface.

 What Is It

Checking the quality of welding is extremely important, so comprehensive and stringent

quality management is required.

Acceptable weld profiles, how does it work?

The profile of a completed weld could have considerable effect for the performance of the
weld operation. It is the welding inspector’s function to distinguish these discontinuities by way of
visual inspection and quite often, to evaluate the acceptance, or negativity. See photos below for
different fillet weld profile.

Note: Convexity C of a weld or individual surface bead with dimension W shall not exceed
the values of the following table.

WIDTH OF WELD FACE OR

MAX CONVEXITY, C
INDIVIDUAL SURFACE BEAD, W
W ≤ 5/16 in. (8mm) 1/16 in. (1.6 mm)
W > 5/ 16 in. TO W < 1 in. (25mm) 1/8 in. (3 mm)
W ≥ 1 in. 3/16 in. (5 mm)
Table 1: Allowable Tolerance of Weld Profile

The following are typical requirements for the quality of weld products.

 The product is finished accurately in accordance with the design dimensions.

  The product offers the required functionality, strength and safety.

 The appearance of the weld satisfies the required level.

Unacceptable weld profiles, how to determine?

Unacceptable weld profiles can cause problems with associated with a reduction in base
material thickness, a reduction in the affective weld size, or provide stress concentrations on the
weld or plate surface the affective weld size. The illustration below shows weld discontinuities
that can often seriously detract from the overall performance of a welded component in service.

Unacceptable weld profiles

The welding inspector is often required to determine the extent of theses discontinuities
and to establish their acceptance, or rejection, based on the relevant acceptable criteria.

 What Is It
Did you know that no matter how much you try to keep things in order, still, in the
end a mistake will happen? It seems like there’s a force of nature that intervenes to turn
things into disorder. Only to find out that this nature’s behavior is called entropy, a behavior
that requires us to put extra effort to negate the tendency of things from its disorder state
and keeping it in order.

The same force of nature also applies to weld. As a welder, you really want to have
a sound weld. Right? Apparently, a sound weld means having this uniformity with a very
little variation of tolerance, be it on weld surface or in sub- surface, here’s your guide on the
probable cause as well as the remedies to overcome such defect.

DEFECT PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY

1. Burn Through - excessive heat input - reduce heat input

- too fast travel speed
2. Convexity/
- too high current
Concavity - poor electrode manipulation

- weld and part sizes unbalanced
3. Cracks - faulty welds
- faulty preparation
- rigid Joint
- speed too fast
4. Incomplete - electrode too large
Penetration - current too low
- faulty preparation
- uneven thickness of metal
5. Misalignment - carelessness
- too slow speed
- current too low
6. Overlapping - longer arc
- large deposits in a single run
- short arc
- insufficient puddling time
7. Porosity - impaired base metal
- incorrect current
- improper welding technique
- low amperage
8. Slag Inclusions - improper welding technique
- too tight welding area
- longer arc length
9. Spatters - severe electrode angle
- high amperage
- Faulty electrode manipulation
10. Undercut - Improper electrode
- Current too high
- Improper welding technique
11. Underfill - faulty preparation
- observe proper parameters and techniques
- grind off or weld on
- use proper electrode
- adjust weld size to part size
- make sound welds with good root fusion
- heat parts before welding

- remove by grinding
- Use uniform weave
- Avoid using overly large electrodes
- Use moderate current and weld slowly
- apply proper welding technique
- may require grinding preparation

Table 2: Weld Defects, Causes and Remedies

A weld defect is any discontinuity in the weld metal, which exceeds the applicable
code limit. Please note that a discontinuity can be termed as a defect only when, if it
exceeds the specified code limit, hence we can say that every defect present in a weld
metal is a discontinuity but every discontinuity present in the weld metal may not necessarily
be a defect.

12
Weld defect, how to check?

Visual examination reveals surface discontinuities and is a valuable method for

evaluating weld quality. It is simple, accessible, low cost examination method, but it requires
a trained examiner. Workmanship standards may address such items as surface roughness,
weld spatter and arc strikes. Many of these discontinuities can be found by visual
examination of a completed weld as specified in the illustration below.

All completed welds should be visually examined to verify the weld meets the
drawing requirements for profile, size, length and location. Check this out!

Spatter

Porosity

Consequently, any thorough quality control program should include a sequence of

examinations performed during all phases of fabrication. Fillet weld sizes can be determined
by using one of the several types of weld gauges. Groove welds should be filled to the full
cross section of the joint, or as specified and the weld reinforcement should not be
excessive. Inspection can be an excellent process control tool to help avoid subsequent
13
fabrication problems and improve workmanship.

Activity 6
CONNECT THE DOTS: A Good Weld Bead
Direction: Connect all the dots following the correct order. You may use
necessary drafting tools to make straight and curved lines. Do NOT retrace any line.
Lines may cross if necessary. Once completed, describe your output below using the
following guide questions:

1. What does the picture tell you?

2. Do you think it is a bad weld? or a good weld?
3. Tell us your observation
 What Is It

Once a weld is in place, it is important to check its quality. There are several
ways of doing this. The simplest way is to check it by eye for cracks or inclusions in
the weld and other problems. Welders also use a number of other so-called non-
destructive testing (NDT) processes to inspect their work, such as liquid penetration
and X-ray inspections. No matter what inspection is used, ensuring welds are strong
and durable is an important step in the process and a vital part of quality assurance.

What makes a good weld?

* Work on a straight line

* Be uniform in width
* Have fused edges and be smooth
* Excellent Penetration
* Zero Porosity/ Zero Cracks

Welding techniques were developed over time in order to avoid problematic

welds and defects and improve your skills. For example, heat input is the biggest
factor when it comes to creating a good weld. If there is too little heat input there is
poor penetration. If there is too much heat input you get burn through.

Moreover, potential problem that can occur from poor welding technique such
as weaving is that you can undercut the weld bead edge as well as have bad fusion. A
stringer bead is the most common and the most basic welding you will learn. To make
a stringer bead you drag your electrode straight across the seam. There is no weaving
or motion other than dragging or pulling.

Here are some of the weaving

techniques to improve workmanship.(see picture
at the right side)

Weave bead welding is exactly as it

sounds; you will make a weaving pattern in
order to cover a larger area. You use this motion
to make cover welds over stringer beads
(multipass welding). In other words you use this
when you are layering welds. It's used when you
make two or more welds on the same seam.

 What Is It

Flat Position (1F)

The easiest type to perform is the flat position, which is also sometimes called
the down hand position. It involves welding on the top side of the joint. In this position,
the molten metal is drawn downward into the joint. The result is a faster and easier
weld.

ESSENTIALS OF WELDING
The correct choice of electrode size involves consideration of the
type, position, preparation of the joint. The electrode for a given
ELECTRODE application must be selected carefully to provide the strength and
SIZE characteristics required for the weld joint.

3.2 mm or 1/8 inch mild steel electrode

The welding current or amperage is essential to producing welds
with good appearance and the required strength characteristics.

CURRENT Correct current, amperes, must be based on the specific size of

electrodes, welding position and base metal or materials

100-120 AMPS
The arcing effect creates the intense heat required for melting the
electrode and the base metal together. It is the distance from the tip
ARC of the electrode to the base metal
LENGTH
Arc length is 1/8 inch the distance from the tip of the electrode core
wire to the weld puddle.
Travel speed is the rate at which the electrode moves along the
workpiece. The key to correct travel speed is “reading” the weld
puddle, because the weld puddle is a liquid version of the weld
TRAVEL bead.
SPEED
Travel speed is the rate at which the electrode moves along the
work.
The angle at which you hold the electrode affects the shape of the
weld bead which is very important in fillet and deep groove welding.
ELECTRODE The electrode angle consists of two positions: work angle and
travel angle.
ANGLE
The work and travel angles are used to control the shape of the
weld puddle and the amount of penetration.

Table 3: The Welding Essentials

High quality specialty welding is essential for maintenance of industrial and

architectural structures. You will need skilled and educated welders to do the job, so
quality standards must be strictly maintained and enforced. These welding essentials
have been created nationally and locally to ensure quality welding.

 What Is It
Safety is the main concern of every department in the workplace. The use of
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) conforms to the OSHS.

What is OSHS?

Occupational Safety and Health Standards (OSHS) are mandatory rules and
standards set and enforced to eliminate or reduce occupational safety and health
hazards in the workplace. OSHS aims to provide at least the minimum acceptable
degree of protection that must be granted to every worker in relation to dangers of

 What Is It

5S is a system for organizing spaces so that work can be performed efficiently,

effectively, and safely. This system focuses on putting everything where it belongs and
keeping the workplace clean, which makes it easier for people to do their jobs without
wasting time or risking injury.

Sort, to separate needed tools,

parts and instructions from unneeded
materials and to remove the unneeded
ones.
Set in Order, to neatly arrange
and identify parts and tools for ease of
use.
Shine, to conduct a clean- up
campaign.
Standardize, to conduct sort, set
in order and shine daily to maintain a
workplace in perfect condition.
Sustain, to form the habit of
always following the first four S’s.

 Reduced costs
 Higher quality
 Increased productivity
 Greater employee satisfaction
 Safer work environment

The art of welding requires one to be patient, practice enough and acquire the
needed knowledge for them to perform excellently. When it comes to welding, a lot
has to be learned before a person steps out to carry a job. Welding goes beyond the
normal understanding how to hold a gun and position it in the right angle. It entails
instilling positive traits. In addition, the welder should learn how to keep their working
surfaces clean, remain comfortable, understand the various welding processes and
comprehend how to properly maintain the welding tools for efficiency and durability.

Direction: Read and understand the selection below, make a flow chart of
the necessary information based on how much you have learned from this
lesson. Indicate the different considerations to be taken by a welder, BEFORE,
DURING and AFTER the welding procedure.

This story is based on the Welding Shop of Mang Berto. One day, a junkshop
owner, Abet, brought a lot of discarded metals to the shop. Abet presented his lay-
out design of the table out from these scrap metals. After a couple of minutes of
checking and testing, he noticed that these metals are still good even with minimal
rust over its surface. Mang Berto is challenged to accept the job.
How will Mang Berto make it to ensure safety, good quality and durable

 What Is It

How to interpret welding symbols?

An arc welding symbol consists of four (4) main parts:

1. A reference line
2. An arrow.
3. A basic welding symbol
4. A tail

1. The reference line is a line connected to the

arrow. The position of the basic symbol above or
beneath this line determines the location of the
weld. The reference line is always drawn parallel
to the bottom edge of the drawing, or to the base
line of a particular.

2. The arrow indicates the position of the weld; it is

drawn at an angle from the end of the reference
line to one side of the joint. This side is called the
arrow side of the “joint”. The opposite side is
called the other side of the joint.

Arrow Side Other Side Both Side

3. Basic weld symbols describe the type of weld to

be made. This symbol is a miniature drawing of
the metal’s edge preparation prior to welding. The
basic weld symbol is only part of the entire AWS
welding symbol.

4. The tail is added to the symbol only when special

notes are required. A number or letter code used
inside the tail direct the welder to special notes
located elsewhere on the drawing. These notes
may specify the heat treatment, welding process
used, or other information not given on the
welding symbol.

 What Is It

FILLET WELD SYMBOL

A fillet weld is a type of weld in the cross-sectional shape of a triangle. The fillet
weld is indicated by a triangle placed on the reference line of the welding symbol. The
vertical member of the fillet weld is always placed to the left. Fillet weld specification may
require welding symbols with dimension, notes in prints, and graphic representation as
shown below.

WELD ALL AROUND SYMBOL

The weld-all-around symbol is a supplementary symbol indicated by a circle at the

intersection of the arrow and reference line, which specifies that the weld extends
completely around the joint. Changes in direction of the weld require multiple arrows on
the welding symbol to indicate the location of the weld. Multiple arrow on the welding
symbols are not required if the weld-all-around symbol can be used. See Figure 12, which
shows a sample of weld all around welds.
 Weld- Around

INTERMITTENT FILLET WELDS

Intermittent fillet welds are short section of fillet welds applied at specified intervals on
the weld parts. Intermittent fillet welds are indicated on the welding symbol by length and
pitch. The length specified is the length of each weld section applied. The pitch specified is
the center of each weld section. For example , an intermittent fillet weld with the dimension 8-
12 specifies that 8” weld section are to be centered on 12” intervals. The figure below shows
sample of intermittent welds.

• Chain intermittent fillet welds are intermittent fillet welds that have
the same specified length and pitch and are applied to both sides of
the weld joint. Chain intermittent fillet welds are spaced
symmetrically unless otherwise noted on print.

32
• Staggered Intermittent fillet welds are intermittent fillet welds that
have a staggered pitch and are applied to both sides of the weld joint.
Staggered intermittent fillet welds are indicated on the welding
symbol by a double-fillet weld symbol placed out of alignment on the
reference line of the welding symbol. The leg and pitch for staggered
intermittent fillet weld are indicated in the same way as intermittent
fillet welds.

DRAFT
• Intermittent and continuous fillet welds applied on the same side of
the weld part require separate welding symbols.

33
WELD CONTOUR AND FINISH

Weld contour is the cross-sectional shape of the completed weld face. Weld
finish is the method used to achieve the surface finish.

CONTOUR FINISH

 Summary

1. A fillet weld is a weld type in the cross-sectional shape of a triangle. It is the most
popular and commonly used weld in industry.

2. There are three (3) types of fillet joints: Lap, Corner and Tee joints

3. In general, fillet welds are economical, easy to fabricate and require very simple
preparation of the materials being joined. Fillet weld strength is directly proportional to its
length and throat dimension.

4. Fillet welds join two base materials positioned at an almost right angle by using triangular
welds. The strength quality of weld joint has a close relationship with joint efficiency. Its
five (5) main parts: Root, Leg, Face, Toe and Throat.

5. The following are typical requirements for the quality of weld products: (a) the product is
finished accurately in accordance with the design dimensions. (b) the product offers the
required functionality, Strength and safety. (c) the appearance of the weld satisfies the
required level.

6. Unacceptable weld profiles can cause problems with associated with a reduction in base
material thickness, a reduction in the affective weld size, or provide stress concentrations
on the weld or plate surface the affective weld size.

7. A weld defect is any discontinuity in the weld metal, which exceeds the applicable code
limit.

8. Visual examination reveals surface discontinuities and is a valuable method for

evaluating weld quality. It is simple, accessible and low cost examination method.

9. The following make a good bead weld: (1)Work on a straight line (2)Be uniform in width
(3) Have fused edges and be smooth (4) Excellent Penetration (5) Zero Porosity/ Zero
Cracks

10. Current, Electrode Size, Electrode Angle, Arc Length and Travel Speed are the most
essential items to consider in welding:

11. Safety is the main concern of every department in the workplace. The use of Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) conforms to the Occupational Safety and Health
Standards (OSHS).

12. 5S is a system for organizing spaces so that work can be performed efficiently, effectively,
and safely.

13. Weld contour is the cross-sectional shape of the completed weld face such as Convex,
Concave and Flat. Weld finish is the method used to achieve the surface finish:
Grinding, Machining, Chipping, Hammering, Rolling and Unspecified.
