Fillet weld is the easiest way to join two metals. It requires no joint preparation, and can be completed in no time, and is cheaper. Due to this reason fillet weld is a very popular choice of weld among designers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fillet weld can be used to join all five types of basic joint types: tee joints<\/a>,\u00a0corner joints<\/a>,\u00a0lap joints, edge joints, and butt joints. It can be welded from one side or both sides. When it is made from both sides, it is called a double-fillet joint. Besides this, a fillet joint is also used as a supplement to groove joints, a fillet is made over the completed groove weld. Such welds are called groove-fillet welds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Single fillet and double fillet weld for all five joint types is illustrated in the figure 1 below. A double fillet is advantageous in comparison to single fillet weld, from a strength point of view. When a single fillet is subjected to an external load \u2018L\u2019 as illustrated in figure below, the root of the fillet comes under tensile and shear strain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If double fillet has been used, the external loading is resisted by the fillet on the second side. In addition to being cheap, easy, and its\u2019 applicability to all types of joint, a fillet weld can also be made with almost all welding processes as well.
