A good weld is characterized by strong fusion between the materials being joined, with minimal defects such as porosity, cracks, or inclusions, ensuring structural integrity and durability. A finish weld, on the other hand, is the final weld made in a joint or assembly, often designed to meet specific aesthetic or functional requirements, ensuring a smooth and uniform surface. Both types of welds are crucial for achieving the desired performance and appearance in fabricated structures.
The welding symbol provides essential information about the weld, including the type of weld (e.g., fillet, groove), the size of the weld, the length of the weld, the welding process to be used, and any specific requirements for the weld, such as the finish or pre-weld treatments. It may also indicate the position of the weld and any additional details regarding the joint preparation. This standardized communication ensures consistency and clarity in welding operations.
A butt weld is a weld made between two straight cut profiles , a socket , or plug weld is made between a surface and a hole.
In welding, the root pass is the initial weld made at the joint's root, ensuring penetration and fusion between the base metals. The filling pass is applied after the root pass to build up the weld metal and achieve the desired thickness. Capping, or cap pass, is the final layer that provides a smooth finish and ensures the weld meets strength and appearance requirements. Each pass serves a specific purpose in achieving a strong and durable weld.
When done correctly it doesn't matter where a weld is made.
At first, the area of cross section of the weld, length of the weld, volume of the weld in cubic inches, weight of weld in cubic inches. To express in formula: Weight of Weld Metal = _ Êx ÊBase Êx ÊHeight Êx ÊLength Êx ÊWeight of Material.

Very likely to leak, zinc in the GI pipe will be contaiminating the weld and thus you cannot get a good weld.
visual examination
It is the heat affected zone. It differs in every weld. but a good rule of thumb is .25" on either side of the weld
you shouldn't have to weld on a good gooseneck hitch. a good gooseneck is a bolt on accessory. check out the B&W turnover ball website http://www.turnoverball.com/
Depends on what you are welding, but generaly welds can meet, or even weld on top of a weld.

To prevent a fish eye at the end of a TIG weld, it's essential to maintain a consistent arc length and avoid excessive heat input. Ensure proper cleaning of the base metal to eliminate contaminants that could lead to defects. Additionally, controlling the travel speed and using a filler rod that matches the base material can help achieve a smooth finish. Finally, practice good technique by gradually reducing the amperage when nearing the end of the weld to allow the puddle to solidify properly.
WELD - AM - was created in 1956.
