FILLET WELDING
 T WE LD
FILLE

• is a weld type in the cross-

sectional shape of a triangle
• is the most popular and
commonly used weld in
TYPES OF FILLET JOINTS

Lap Joint

Corner Joint

Tee Joint
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
• 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

PARTS OF FILLET WELD

Root Leg Face

Throat Toe
 WELD ROOT

• is the area where the

filler metal intersects
the base metal opposite
the face
WELD FACE
• is the exposed surface
of a weld, bounded by
the weld toes of the
side on which welding
was done
WELD FACE
• fillet weld maybe concave or convex.
 WELD TOE
• is the intersection of the
base metal and the weld
face
• is the point at which the
weld face meets the base
metal.
FILLET WELD
LEG
• the distance from the
joint root to the weld
toe
FILLET WELD
THROAT
• may refer to the actual
throat, effective throat,
or theoretical throat
• is the
shortest
distance to
the weld root
after welding

• is the
• is the shortest distance from
distance from the face of a
the face of a fillet weld to
fillet weld to the the weld root

any convexity welding.
