    1) The document discusses the basics of weld joint design, outlining a 10 step design process that includes determining the component shape, size, joint design, safety evaluation, performance measures, integrity measures, and cost considerations. 2) It covers key factors to consider in weld joint design like weld strength, stress distribution, residual stress, accessibility, and service requirements. 3) The main types of weld joints covered are butt, fillet, lap, corner, and T-joints which can be made using butt, fillet, plug, and other welds in various positions. Partial and full penetration groove welds are also discussed.

    BASICS OF

    WELD JOINT DESIGN


    DESIGN PROCESS
    1. DETERMINE THE SHAPE OF THE COMPONENT
    consideration – overall purpose & constraints
    2. CALCULATE THE SIZE OR DIMENSIONS
    Assessment of loads, loading conditions, selection of
    materials & determination of thicknesses as per
    international codes and stds
    3. DESIGN OF JOINTS TO SHAPE THE WELDMENT
    Design of weld joints and weld sizing including selection
    of filler metals to be used for joining
    4 EVALAUTE SAFETY OF THE DESIGNED WELDMENT
    Evaluate the stresses on members through simulation
    and design analysis to evaluate the safety as per codes
    5 BUILD MEASURES TO ENSURE PERFORMANCE
    Could be fatigue, vibration, creep performance etc
    DESIGN PROCESS
    6 BUILD MEASURES TO ENSURE integrity and reliability
    of the weldment
    Testing, QC, NDT methods as per codes & stds etc
    7. BUILD MEASURES TO TAKE CARE OF
    ENVIRONMENTAL Factors
    Corrossion, erosion, WEAR etc
    8. MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
    Fabricatability analysis, tolerance attainability analysis
    etc. Requirments of pre machining/ intermediate /final
    machining analysis
    9. Prototype Eng & fixture eng analysis etc to ensure
    manufacturability.
    10. Cost considerations: Matl, manufacturing,
    assembly, erection, operation & maintenanc.

    Detail the Loadings & apply the Design Methodology
    (Knowledge of design procedure & failure theories)
    Choose appropriate Manufacturing methods
    (Knowledge of Modern Manufacturing processes)
    Assess integrity of the component after manufacture
    (Knowledge of various destructive & NDE techniques)
    Key considerations in design
    FACTORS FOR CONSIDERATION
    ➢ WELD STRENGTH or Weld joint efficiency to
    transfer loads across members
    ➢ Stress distribution and concentration
    ➢ Residual stress & distortion
    ➢ Accessibility for welding, testing and Inspection
    ➢ Cost of construction.
    ➢ Service requirements, Type of loading and
    stresses generated
    ➢ Location, accessibility and ease of welding
    ➢ Appearance
    ➢ Methods used to manufacture the components

    BUTT JOINTS
    Types of Butt Joint Welds

    Double ‘V’ -preparation time is greater, but you use less filler metal
    60 deg. for plate and 75 deg. for pipe
    Groove angle is sufficient to allow the electrode into the joint
    Strength of the weld depends on the size of the fillet

    Subjected to heavy loads, -double-fillet lap joint

    Section to plate joint
    Geometric Shape Imperfections
    Excess weld metal
    Acceptable from the unacceptable
    excess weld metal
    Excess weld metal limits for quality levels:

    Severity of service Moderate, D Stringent, B

    Limit (up to maximum) h = 1mm + 0.25 b h = 1mm + 0.25 b

    Maximum 10 mm 3 mm
    Undercut
    Transition required smooth smooth

    Where: h = height of excess & b = width of bead (see figure)

    Linear misalignment
    Overlap
    MULTI PASS WELDING – BEADS VS LAYERS
    Types of Lap Joint Welds

    Strength of the weld depends on the size of the fillet
