Welding Joints - Westfalia HW 80 Bedienungsanleitung

Welding Joint
A
B
T-Joint with Inner Angle
An easily made welding joint. Suitable for thickness up to
5 mm. Both pieces have to touch each other.
Lap Joint
For this lap weld both edges have to be prepared
with a fillet weld. Both work pieces have to be
overlapping and joined together.
Welding Position
After preparing the welding joints, choose the right welding position. If possible
the work pieces have to be on a flat surface in order to maintain proper
welding performance.
Horizontal Butt Weld
When welding, make sure the welding joint is without undercuts and sufficient
root penetration. Observe the welding current, the distance between the joint
edges, the angle and the electrode diameter.
Hold the electrode to an approx. angle of 45 – 55°
to the horizontal level. The electrode has to be in
one level to the vertical axis of the welding joint. A
higher inclination leads to higher penetration and
vice versa.

Welding Joints
