 TYPES OF FILLET JOINTS
Information Sheet
WELDING CARBON/MILD STEEL PLATES (1F) Lap joint is frequently used in all kinds of work, which may be single- fillet
Fillet Weld lap

The fillet weld is the most popular and commonly used weld in joint or double fillet lap joint. The single fillet lap joint is not as strong as
industry. It requires little or no edge preparation. Single- fillet welds are the double fillet lap joint which is more often used on ordinary work.
fillet welds that have filler metal deposited on one side. They are limited to Single fillet lap joint should not be used if root of joint is to be subjected to
smaller loads than double fillet welds. Double fillet welds are fillet welds
bending. This type of joint should never replace the butt joint on works
that have filler metal deposited on both sides to provide additional
strength. It may be equal or unequal fillet. See Figure 1. under severe load.

See Figure 3.
Figure 1. Types of Welds on Fillet Joints

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. Heavier plate can be welded if the load is
not severe and there is no bending action at the root of the weld. No
preparation is needed and fit up is usually simple. Half 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.

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.
