Mechanical joints can be categorized into various types, including bolted, welded, and riveted joints, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Bolted joints are easy to assemble and disassemble, making repairs straightforward, but they may require additional components like washers and can introduce stress concentrations. Welded joints provide high strength and are often more compact, but they can be difficult to inspect and repair, and may require specialized skills. Riveted joints are durable and can accommodate some movement, but they are generally heavier and less versatile than bolts or welds.

Better in what way? Rivited joints are generally cheaper while welded joints are generally stronger.
To check welded joints for uniformity, alignment, position, weld size, and profile, you can conduct visual inspections to identify any surface irregularities or misalignments. Use measuring tools like calipers or gauges to assess weld size and ensure it meets specified standards. Non-destructive testing methods, such as ultrasonic testing or radiographic inspection, can also be employed to evaluate internal integrity and uniformity. Finally, documentation of the inspection results helps ensure compliance with relevant standards and specifications.
BS EN 970 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for the quality control of non-destructive testing (NDT) of welds, particularly regarding the examination of fusion-welded joints in metallic materials. It provides guidelines for the preparation, execution, and reporting of visual inspection and non-destructive testing methods. The standard aims to ensure that the testing processes are consistent, reliable, and capable of identifying potential defects in welded structures. Compliance with BS EN 970 helps maintain high quality and safety standards in engineering and manufacturing.
Pewter is typically not welded to steel due to their differences in melting points and properties. However, they can be joined using other methods such as soldering, adhesive bonding, or mechanical fastening. These methods offer a more effective way to join pewter and steel while maintaining the integrity of the materials.

The different types of joints in steel structures include welded joints, bolted joints, and riveted joints. Welded joints involve fusing steel members together using heat, while bolted joints use bolts to hold steel members together. Riveted joints use rivets to connect steel members through a hole punched in both pieces.
