  • Page 35 9-10. Welding Groove (Butt) Joints Tack Welds Prevent butt joint distortion by tack welding the materials in position before final weld. Workpiece distortion occurs when heat is applied locally to a joint. One side of a metal plate will “curl” up toward the weld.
  • Page 36 9-12. Weld Test Vise Weld Joint Hammer Strike the weld joint in the direction shown. A good weld bends over but does not break. If the weld breaks, examine it to determine the cause. If the weld is porous (many holes), the arc length was probably too long.
  • Page 37 Lack Of Penetration − shallow fusion between weld metal and base metal. Lack of Penetration Good Penetration Possible Causes Corrective Actions Improper joint preparation. Material too thick. Joint preparation and design must provide access to bottom of groove. Improper weld technique. Keep arc on leading edge of weld puddle.
