TYPES OF FILLET JOINTS
Lap joint is frequently used in all kinds of work, which may be single- fillet lap joint or
double fillet lap joint. The single fillet lap joint is not as strong as the double fillet lap joint which
is more often used on ordinary work. Single fillet lap joint should not be used if root of joint is to
be subjected to bending. This type of joint should never replace the butt joint on works under
severe load. See Figure
Figure 3. Lap Joints
Corner joint is a weld joint formed when two joint members are positioned at an
approximate 90 degrees angle with the weld joint at the outside of the joint members. at the
root of the weld. No preparation is needed and fit up is usually simple. Half Heavier plate can
be welded if the load is not severe and there is no bending action open corner joint may be
used on 12 gauge up to 4.5mm. Full open joint can be cut absolutely square
and suitable clamping and holding devices are needed to facilitate fit up. See Figure 4.
Figure 4. Corner Joint
Tee Joint is a welding joint at the junction of two parts located approximately at right
angles to each other in the form of a T. In terms of welding, thicker metals at the edge to be
joined should be
beveled. There are many forms of beveling edges for T-joint such as single bevel, double bevel,
single J bevel, and double J bevel (refer to Figure 5). No preparation of edges is necessary for
thinner plates and fit up can be fast and economical.
Tee Joint
See Figure 5, showing different Tee joint/welds edge preparation
• Plain tee joint is used on ordinary plate thickness up to 0.5mm. If it is possible to
weld from both sides, the joint will withstand high load conditions. The single fillet
welded tee joint will not withstand bending action at the root of the weld and should
be used with caution. There is no preparation cost.
• Single bevel tee joint can withstand more severe load than plain tee joint. It can be
used on plate thickness from 9.5mm to 16mm. If it is possible to weld from one
side only, care must be taken so that full penetration to the root weld is obtained
and bending action will not result in failure. Cost of preparation is greater than plain
tee joint.
• Double bevel tee joint is used for heavy plate thickness up to 25.40mm. Welding
is done from both sides of the plate. It is used for severe loads. Good root
penetration is necessary.Joint preparation is expensive.
• Single J tee joint is used for more severe load condition. Generally used on plate
25.40mm or heavier if welding is to be done from one side. Efficiency of joint can
be increased materially by putting in bead in opposite J. This will reduce the
tendency of failure at the root as a result of load at this point.

Parts of Fillet Weld
a. Weld root is the area where the filler metal intersects the base metal opposite the
face.
b. Weld face is the exposed surface of a weld , bounded by the weld toes of the side
on which welding was done. The weld face of a fillet weld maybe concave or
convex.
c. Weld toe is the intersection of the base metal and the weld face. It is the point at
which the weld face meets the base metal.
d. Fillet weld leg is the distance from the joint root to the weld toe. The joint root is
the part of a joint to be welded where the members are closest to each other.
e. The fillet weld throat may refer to the actual throat, effective throat, or theoretical
throat.
• Actual throat is the shortest distance from the face of a fillet weld to the weld
root after welding.
• Effective throat is the shortest distance from the face of a fillet weld to the
weld root, minus any convexity after welding.
• Theoretical throat is the distance from the face of a fillet weld to the weld
root before welding.
f. Weld interface is the area where the filler metal and the base metal are mixed
together.
g. Fusion face is the surface of the base metal that is melted during welding.
h. Depth of fusion is the distance from the fusion face to the weld interface.

Acceptable Weld Profiles
The profile of a completed weld could have considerable effect for the performance of
the weld operation. It is the welding inspector’s function to distinguish these discontinuities by
way of visual inspection and quite often, to evaluate the acceptance, or negativity. See Figure
7, showing different fillet weld profile.

Note: Convexity C of a weld or individual surface bead with dimension W shall not exceed
the values of the following table.
