A weld symbol is a representation of a cross section of a given weld. A welding symbol is a composite containing a weld symbol, reference line, and arrow. Additional information can be included in supplementary symbols, and dimensions.

When laying out a 2 on 12 stitch weld from the end of the weld to the start of the next weld is it 12 inches?
11"
What is the ratio between the leg length and the throat thickness on a mitre filet weld with equal leg lengths?
it depends on the fillet welds dimentions and fit up requirements
Why is aluminum difficult to weld?
Aluminum is a bit more difficult to weld than steel , because of it's lower melting point. Also Aluminum takes more heat , because of it's property of absorbing and releasing the heat quicker. With the proper electrode , or rod , and amps to volt settings, along with a bit of practise , it can be quite simple . One usually has to have a faster travel speed with the filler rod or electrode.
What is the difference between shielded and unshielded welding?
Shielded welding needs a gas to shield the weld from the atmoshere air. Unshielded uses a flux the burns when welding to shield the weld from the atmoshere air.
What is the difference between arc welding and resistance welding?
in arc welding only heat is used to weld metal. but in resistance welding pressure will also be used along with heat.
What is the difference between Tig weld vs plasma weld?
When we are using the tig welder we getting welding defects on our blanks, but when using the plasma weld no defects are found
What is the difference between the SMAW and GTAW?
The main difference between these two types of welding is that GTAW uses gases to create the weld whilst SMAW uses an an electrical current. Both are very popular welding processes.
What is meant by the term welding and draw various welding symbols?
Welding is the process of joining two metals, usually involving a heat source. Welding symbols are the symbols used on part prints or assembly drawings to show size and type of weld, the specific welding process, and many other variables pertaining to that particular weld. A welding symbol looks like an arrow pointing to the location of the weld, with a horizontal line 'carrying' other symbols and numbers that describe how to make that weld. A picture of a welding symbol can be found when an image search is done.
What is the difference between welding engineering and welding technology?
Welding technology is the study and application of the many processes of joining various metals. Welding Engineering is a far deeper study and application into the individual characteristics of each metal. A welding engineer will decide what metals are used in a project and what process to weld those metals. Weld techs will usually just receive blue prints and weld as instructed. Welding technology is usually a 2 year degree, and Welding Engineering is a 4+year degree.
Is plug weld's depth of filling to the right or left of the welding symbol?
When the depth of filling is less than the thickness (less than complete), it is specified inside the plug weld symbol!!!
Can metallic bonds be formed from a welded joint?
Yes, welding of metals typically involves heating and fusion in resistance welding, arc welding, acetylene torch welding. Metallic bonds are formed between the substrate and the weld. The composition of the weld and the substrate around the weld inevitably is different from the material being welded.
What is the difference between welding and fusing?
Welding is the fusing of to metals, but the term "fusing" in a welding shop is the melting together of to materials without using filler rod. Usually done with a TIG Machine. The process results in a small weld, that does not need to be ground flush, because it already is. The only problem is that a "fused" weld isn't as strong.
What is 4g welding?
4G is a welding position. The '4' means the weld is to be made in the overhead position. The 'G' means the weld is a groove weld.
What does TCU4a weld symbol mean?
A TCU4a weld is a Corner Jount (TC), Unlimited Thickness Full Joint Penetration (U), Single Bevel Groove (4), and (a) is the welding process.
What is the main difference between filler rods and electrodes?
Filler rods are used to add metal to a molten weld pool during the welding process and electrodes actually have electricity running through them to deposit metal into the weld with the exception of TIG welding where the tungsten electrode is used solely for heat.... Hope this was helpful
