Introduction
A welded joint is a permanent joint which is obtained
by the fusion of the edges of the two parts to be
joined together, with or without the application of
pressure and a filler material.
The heat required for the fusion of the material may
be obtained by burning of gas (in case of gas
welding) or by an electric arc (in case of electric arc
welding).
The latter method is extensively used because of
greater speed of welding

Welded Joints and Riveted Joints
Advantages:
1. The welded structures are usually lighter than
riveted structures. This is due to the reason, that in
welding, other connecting components are not
used.
2. The welded joints provide maximum efficiency
(may be 100%) which is not possible in case of
riveted joints.
3. Alterations and additions can be easily made in the
existing structures.
4. As the welded structure is smooth in appearance,
therefore it looks pleasing.
5. In welded connections, the tension members are
not weakened as in the case of riveted joints.

Welded Joints and Riveted Joints
Advantages:
6. A welded joint has a great strength. Often a welded
joint has the strength of the parent metal itself.
7. Sometimes, the members are of such a shape (i.e.
circular steel pipes) that they afford difficulty for
riveting. But they can be easily welded.
8. The welding provides very rigid joints. This is in line
with the modern trend of providing rigid frames.
9. It is possible to weld any part of a structure at any
point. But riveting requires enough clearance.
10. The process of welding takes less time than the
riveting.

Types of Welded Joints
1. Lap joint or fillet joint
Overlapping the plates and then welding the edges of the
plates.
The cross-section of the fillet is approximately triangular.

Types of Welded Joints
2. Butt Joint
Placing the plates edge to edge and then welding.
Plate edges do not require beveling if the thickness of plate is
less than 5 mm. If the plate thickness is 5 mm to 12.5 mm, the
edges should be beveled to V or U-groove on both sides.
The butt joints may be
1. Square butt joint, 2. Single V-butt joint 3. Single U-butt joint,
4. Double V-butt joint, and 5. Double U-butt joint.
These joints are shown in Fig. 10.3.

The other type of welded joints are corner joint, edge joint and T-
joint as shown in Fig. 10.4
