Lecture 12: Design of Plug and Slot Weld

Flare-V-groove butt weld metals of differing thickness that need joining together joint weld is also considered to be a fillet weld

To enable thicker plate to be joined by 'spot welding' a circular or elongated hole may be machined through the top plate, enabling either a plug or a slot weld

slot 6666 game When a weld must be made from both sides, it is known as a double weld Figure shows common applications of double welds in basic joint designs Figure 5: Types

slot power The weld joint and weld type combinations available to the designer are limited to those Slot welds are only applied to lap joints Figure 5-6 illustrates
