WELD JOINT DESIGN
Edge Preparation - Need
Poor penetration
Poor strength
Good penetration
Good strength
(100% joint
efficiency)
Edge Preparation
Factors which influence choice of edge
preparation
- Thickness
- Material
- Welding process
- Extent of penetration required
- Welding distortion
- Cost

Butt Joint – Double V groove
Double V groove Less weld metal
Less distortion
Higher edge preparation cost
Better for thickness > 20 mm
Single V groove
More weld metal
More distortion
Lower edge preparation cost
Better for thickness < 20 mm
