Welding joint Types, Symbols and Explained

Welding Joint Types

What is a welding Joint: A joint can simply be described as a configuration of members and can be described independently of how it is welded. A butt joint and a T joint are the most common type of weld joint.

What is a Weld:

A weld is a permanent union between materials caused by the melting of materials to be joined or by solid diffusion with melting by applying heat or pressure or using both heat & pressure. if this joining is made between two faces approximately parallel, is known as a butt weld.

And a weld made between two faces that are approximately at right angles to each other is known as a fillet weld.

 Types of Welding Joints

The main types of weld joints are:

  1. Butt Joint
  2. T Joint
  3. Corner Joint
  4. Edge or parallel Joint
  5. Lap Joint
  6. Cruciform Joint
  7. Flare Groove joint


What is a Butt Joint?

1. Butt Joint: In this type of joint, two metals are joined by simply placing their ends together and then performing the welding operation. These two objects are nearly parallel and do not overlap. This example shows a single V butt joint.

Here various types of butt joints configurations are shown.




What are T Joints or Fillet Joints?

 2. T joint or fillet joint is the most common type of welding joint. In a T-Joint, two members are welded to each other as shown in the below figure. As the name suggests, two plates or pipes are 90 degrees from each other forming the letter T shape. Take your time to get familiar with different types of T joint weld configurations.

Here various types of T-Joint configurations are shown.


What is a Corner Joint?

3. Corner Joint: In corner joint configuration, two members are welded to each other at the edges. The angle formed between two members shall be >30° & <135 Degree. The weld appearance in a Corner weld is similar to a T-Joint. They are having two types mainly:


  • Closed corner joint
  • Open corner joint


What is a Edge Joint?

4. Edge Joint: An edge joint or simply called parallel joint is a weld joint configuration by laying two-member parallel to each other. Edge joint are not very commonly used in structures.

Take your time to get familiar with different types of edge joint weld configurations. shown below:




What is Lap joint?

5. Lap Joint: In a lap joint configuration, two members are laid on each other to overlap and welded using a fillet weld. When designing a lap joint the overlap between the two plates needs to be at least four times the plate thickness, but not less than 25mm. Lap joints are mainly used in Resistance welding (RW) process.


What is Cruciform Joint?

6. Cruciform joint: It is a special type of joint where 3 members are welded at a right angle that appears like a plus sign as shown in the below figure. These joints are used for structural supports, making barriers and other special applications.



What is a Flare Bevel Joint?

7. Flare Bevel Joint:   Flare bevel joints are formed between round member or at least one plate member. A simple flare groove joints are shown in below figure.
