3.18 Fillet Welds
Fillet welds are the most commonly used type of weld in welding fabrication. It does not require
special joint preparation, like bevel cutting. A fillet weld joins two surfaces, usually, but not always, at
right angles to each other. Fillet welds are used to make lap joints, T-joints or corner joints. The
profiles of fillet welds and the associated terms are shown in Figures 3.50 and 3.51. These are equal
leg fillet welds.
