Welding Processes

The principal methods of welding

are:

Gas welding
Arc welding
Resistance welding

Standard Symbols

Welding drawings are a special

type of assembly drawing as
weldments are composed of a
number of separate pieces
fastened together as a unit
Joints are all shown as they would
appear before welding

Types of Welded Joints

There are five basic types of

welded joints:

Butt joint
Corner joint
T-joint
Lap joint
Edge joint

Types of Welds

There are four types of arc and gas

welds:

Back or backing weld

Fillet weld
Plug or slot weld
Groove weld

Types of Welds

The four basic resistance welds

are:

Spot weld
Projection weld
Seam weld
Flash or upset weld

Welding Symbols

The basic element of the symbol is

the bent arrow

The arrow points to the joint where

the weld is to be made
Attached to the reference line, or
shank, is the symbol for the desired
weld

Welding Applications

Welding is often cheaper when

only one or a few identical parts
are required
Welding is also suitable for large
structures that are difficult or
impossible to fabricate entirely in a
shop

Welding Templates

Welding templates can simplify

drawing welding symbols by hand
They have all the forms needed for
drawing the arrow, weld symbols,
and supplementary symbols

Computer Graphics

Welding symbol libraries available

in CAD and allow for rapid
application of accurate, uniform
symbols that are in compliance
with standards
