Engineering Training
Welding Practical Lab

Objective
Provide Engineering personnel hands on
practical experience of welding processes
and procedures to help bridge the gap
between conceptual knowledge and real
world understanding.

General Safety
Secure work
Avoid electrical
shock
Protect others
Never weld in a
damp area
Never wear
synthetic fiber
clothing
Protect welding
cables

Topics to cover

Weld Joints

Weld Joints
Groove face is that
surface of a member
included in the groove

Root opening is
the separation
between the work
pieces at the joint
root

Root face (land) is

that portion of the
groove face within the
joint root

Weld Joints

Root edge is a root

face of zero width

Bevel (chamfer) is
an angular edge
preparation

Weld Joints
Butt Joint
A joint between two members
aligned approximately in the
same plane

Weld Joints
Lap Joint
A joint between two
overlapping members

Weld Joints
T Joint
A joint between two members
located approximately at right
angles to each other

Electrode Classification
The American Welding Society
(AWS) has developed the
following electrode classification
system:
The E means that the electrode is
used for electric arc welding
The first two digits indicate the
tensile strength
The third digit tells you in what
position the electrode can be used
in
The fourth digit indicates any
special characteristics of the
electrode

Electrode Classification

E-70-1-8
What does the E stand for?
E means that the electrode is for electric arc welding
p
What do the next two numbers represent?
The tensile strength in thousands of psi
What does the third digit mean?
Electrode position
What does the fourth number tell you?
Electrodes special characteristics
