Best Answer

The size of the welding rod needed to do the root pass should be the same as the root gap, although in practice, the most common root gap is 1/8" so that the size of the rod to do it is also 1/8".

the root opening is the distance between joint members at the root of the weld before welding. the root opening must be accurate so that excess welding is not necessary.

What are two effects that joint design has on the completed weld?

I am not sure but I would assume two things about joint design and its effect on the weld and visa versa: penetration and overall strength of the weld would depend greatly on what grove you are welding in or on and the amount of distortion would vary greatly depending on how large of root opening and weld size etc.


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 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.

Butt-weld and grrove weld?

First, Butt-weld is short for a butt groove. Welding in a butt-groove starts at the throat of the butt-groove. The first weld point could be a tack-weld: holding the two materials to be welded together. The throat is measured and filler metal and electrode are determined to create the root pass.

What tack welding size and spacing is needed in relationship to material thickness?

If tack welding is just for the purpose of holding the part in place then the welding tack size should be enough to hold it in place and should not exceed the final welding size. Spacing and number of tacks can vary depending on your requirement, but if enough space is available then try to avoid the consecutive tacks in the heat affected zone area of the previous welded tack. Usually spacing of 25 to 30mm is enough, increase the spacing as there is an increase in the leg size of the tack weld.
