Introduction
Types of Welding
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
Introduction
Welding is joining two pieces of metal by:
Heating to temperature high enough to cause softening or
melting
With or without application of pressure
With or without use of filler metal
Melting point same as metals beginning joined or melting
point below metals but about 800 F
New methods, applications and systems
Tremendous progress in short time
Usually best method to use when fastening metal
Applications: Aerospace, Automotive, Shipbuilding, Construction,
Steel industries

Tee joints, considered a fillet type of weld, form when two members intersect at 90
resulting in the edges coming together in the middle of a component or plate
A corner weld is a type of joint that is between two metal parts and is located at
right angles to one another in the form of a L.
This is formed when two pieces are placed atop each other while
also over lapping each other for a certain distance along the edge.
Edge welding joints, a groove type of weld, are placed side by side
and welded on the same edge.
A tee weld is a type of fillet weld. The fillet weld has two
surfaces at right angles, and the bead is triangular in shape
