Types of Welded Joints

There are five types of welded joints as follows:

1. Butt Joint
2. Corner Joint
3. Lap Joint
4. Tee-Joint
5. Edge Joint

Now we will discuss these types of welded joints.

1. Butt Joint:

In a Butt-welded joint, the parts lie in a similar plane and are joined at their edges.

2. Corner Joint:

In the corner welded joint, the parts in a corner joint make a right angle and are joined at the center of the angle.

3. Lap Joint:

In this type of joint, one member overlaps another member. Two parts of the metal sheet can be fully or partially overlapped.

4. Tee Joint:

In this type of welded joint, one joint is the right angle to the other joint in the approximate shape of the letter “T”.

5. Edge Joint:

The parts in the edge joint are parallel with at least one of their edges in common and the joint is made at the common edge.
