I agree, we lack proper welding design and procedure. I am doing the best I can with the very limited resources that we have available. Our structures need to be properly welded with good penetration because we galvanize them after and we have had problems there too.
Until now, welders have...
thanks. I know where to find it and how much it costs, but I refuse to pay for it out of my own pocket. I have asked my company to purchase it and they haven´t yet.
Not sure if I get the fat hog comment but if it means free information- then yes, I am guilty. Thanks for your time.
Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read this.
We are welding 150mm x 50mm rectangular tube steel together to form a box.
The wall thickness is 5mm. We weld them to form perpendicular intersections so we basically weld a fillet weld up the sides of the tube, then weld flat accross the part...
"The fabrication standard may provide some insight as to the minimum weld size when no size is specified. For example, AWS D1.1 states that when the Engineer does not specified the weld size, the weld must develop the strength of the adjoining members in both shear and tension."
How does one...
