Welding Representation

Chapter 22
Objectives

• Describe the various welding processes


• Draw the common welding symbols
• Dimension a welding drawing using
standard ANSI welding notations
Objectives (cont.)

• Identify and draw a fillet weld, groove


weld, back weld, spot weld, seam weld,
projection weld, and flash weld
• Describe the use of welding symbols in
CAD drawings
Welding Processes

• The principal methods of welding are:


• Gas welding
• Arc welding
• Resistance welding
Standard Symbols

• Welding drawings are a special type of


assembly drawing as weldments are
composed of a number of separate
pieces fastened together as a unit
• Joints are all shown as they would
appear before welding
Weldment Drawing
Welding Symbols

• The items that can be specified in a


welding symbol are:
• Type of weld
• Process
• Depth of bevel, size or strength for some
weld types
• Groove weld size
• Finishing designator
• Contour
Welding Symbols

• Cont.
• Groove angle
• Root opening
• Length of weld
• Number and pitch of welds
• Whether the weld is to be field welded
• All around indicator
• Which side of the material is to be welded
Basic Welds and Symbols
Types of Welded Joints

• There are five basic types of welded


joints:
• Butt joint
• Corner joint
• T-joint
• Lap joint
• Edge joint
Types of Welded
Joints
Types of Welds

• There are four types of arc and gas


welds:
• Back or backing weld
• Fillet weld
• Plug or slot weld
• Groove weld
Types of Welds

• The four basic resistance welds are:


• Spot weld
• Projection weld
• Seam weld
• Flash or upset weld
Welding Symbols

• The basic element of the symbol is the


“bent” arrow
• The arrow points to the joint where the
weld is to be made
• Attached to the reference line, or shank, is
the symbol for the desired weld
Welding Symbols
Complete Welding Symbol
Fillet Welds

• The usual fillet weld has equal legs


Groove Welds
Back or Backing Welds
Surface Welds

• The surface weld


symbol indicates a
surface to be built
up
Plug and Slot Welds
Spot Welds
Seam Welds
Projection Welds
Flash and Upset Welds

• Flash and upset weld symbols have no


arrow-side or other-side significance
Welding Applications

• Welding is often cheaper when only one


or a few identical parts are required
• Welding is also suitable for large
structures that are difficult or
impossible to fabricate entirely in a
shop
Welding Templates

• Welding templates can simplify drawing


welding symbols by hand
• They have all the forms needed for
drawing the arrow, weld symbols, and
supplementary symbols
Computer Graphics

• Welding symbol libraries available in


CAD and allow for rapid application of
accurate, uniform symbols that are in
compliance with standards
