THE FIVE BASIC WELD JOINTS
Most of the welds that we have to make fall into five general categories. Each one of these individual joint categories have many variations onto the basic unit. Understanding these five and being able to complete Welds in all positions is a good starting point for everyone learning how to weld. The five basic weld joints include the butt joint, the lap joint, the tee joint, the corner joint, and the edge joint.
