OF
WELDING METALLURGY
The mechanical properties of a welded joint depends on
various factorFor example ,
The rate of heat application and
The thermal properties of metals are important,
Because they control the magnitude and distribution of
temperature in a joint during welding.

In
fusion welding, the existing base metal grains at the fusion line
(as shown in Figure) serves as the substrate for nucleation of
crystals during solidification of the fusion zone.
Thus, new crystals or grains are formed by arranging the atoms
from the base metal grains without altering their crystallographic
orientations.
This feature is referred to as epitaxial solidification, which is
usual, in particular, in the autogeneous welding (i.e. without filler
material).
In Figure
the welding direction should be realized as
perpendicular to the plane of the paper (reading screen).

Excessive penetration and / or
reinforcement are also undesirable in weld
joints.
Both are usually caused by poor fit-up, too
wide a root gap or too small a root face,
improper welding technique and excessive
welding current. Excessive reinforcement
tends to stiffen the weld section and make
notches that would create stress
