ME Welding Symboles
- A weldment is fabricated by welding together a collection of metal shapes, cut to
particular configurations.
- During welding, the several parts are held securely together, often by clamping
or jigging.
- The welds must
be precisely
specified on
working drawings,and this is done by
using the welding
symbol as
standardized by the
American Welding
Society (AWS).

ME Welding Symboles
- Figures 93 to 96 illustrate the types of welds used most frequently by
designers.
-For general machine elements most welds are fillet welds, though butt welds
are used a great deal in designing pressure vessels.
- The parts to be joined must be arranged so that there is sufficient clearance for
the welding operation.
- Since heat is used in the welding operation, there are metallurgical changes inthe parent metal in the vicinity of the weld. Also, residual stressesmay be
introduced because of clamping or holding or, sometimes, because of the order
of welding.
- Usually these residual stresses are not severe enough to cause concern; insome cases a light heat treatment after welding has been found helpful in
relieving them. When the parts to be welded are thick, a preheating will also be
of benefit.

where h is the weld throat and l is the length of the weld.
- Note that the value of h does not include the reinforcement. The reinforcement
can be desirable, but it varies somewhat and does produce stress concentration at
pointA.

- The most important concept here is that we have no analytical approach that
predicts the existing stresses.
- The approach has been to use a simple and conservative model, verified by
testing as conservative. The approach has been to
Consider the external loading to be carried by shear forces on the
throat areaof the weld. By ignoring the normal stress on the throat, the shearing
stresses are inflated sufficiently to render the model conservative.
Use distortion energy for significant stresses.
Circumscribe typical cases by code.
- The geometry of the fillet is crude by machinery standards, and even if it wereideal, the macrogeometry is too abrupt and complex for the methods.

- Note that this inflates the maximum estimated shear stress by a factor of

- Further, consider the parallel fillet welds shown in this Figure, where, as in
Fig. 98, each weld transmits a forceF. However, in the case of this Figure,the maximum shear stress is at the minimum throat areaand corresponds to
Eq. (93).
which assumes the entire forceF is

- The figure illustrates a cantilever of
length l welded to a column by two
fillet welds.
- The reaction at the support of a
cantilever always consists of a shear
force V and a momentM.
- The shear force produces aprimary
shear in the welds of magnitude V
A
whereA is the throat area of all the welds.
- The moment at the support producessecondary shear or
torsion of the welds, and this stress is given by the equation

- When the sizes of the welds are
known, these equations can be solved
and the results combined to obtain
the maximum shear stress.
- Note that r is usually the farthest
distance from the centroid of the
weld group.
- The figure shows two welds in a
group. The rectangles represent the
throat areas of the welds.
- Weld 1 has a throat thickness t1= 0.707h1, and weld 2 has a throat thickness t2=
0.707h2. Note that h1and h2are the respective weld sizes. The throat area of both
welds together is
- This is the area that is to be used in equation of the primary shear.

- The reverse procedure is that in which
the allowable shear stress is given and
we wish to find the weld size. The usual
procedure is to estimate a probable weld
size.
- The quantities t13and t2
3which are the
cubes of the weld thicknesses, are small
and can be neglected.
- Setting the weld thicknesses t1and t2to
unity leads to the idea of treating each
fillet weld as a line.
- The resulting second moment of area is then a unit second polar moment of area Ju.
- The advantage of treating the weld size as a line is that the value ofJuis the same
regardless of the weld size.

- The model gives the coefficient of 1.414, in contrast to the predictions of Sec.

- The second moment of area is based on the distance dbetween the two welds. If
this moment is found by treating the two welds as having rectangular footprints,the distance between the weld throat centroids is approximately (d + h). This
would produce a slightly larger second moment of area, and result in a smaller
level of stress.

- The matching of the electrode properties with those of the parent metal is usually
not so important asspeed, operator appeal, and the appearance of the completed
joint. The properties of electrodes vary considerably, but this Table lists the
minimum properties for some electrode classes.
- It is preferable, in designing welded components, to select a steel that will result in
a fast, economical weld even though this may require a sacrifice of other qualities
such as machinability.

- The factors of safety implied by this code are easily calculated.
- For tension, n = 1/0.60 = 1.67. For shear, n = 0.577/0.40 = 1.44, using the
distortion-energy theory as the criterion of failure.
*The factor of safety nhas been computed by using the distortion-energy theory.Shear stress on base metalshould not exceed 0.40Syof base metal.

ME The Strength of Welded Joints
- It is important to observe that the electrode material is often the strongest material
present.
- If a bar of AISI 1010 steel is welded to one of 1018 steel, the weld metal is
actually a mixture of the electrode material and the 1010 and 1018 steels.
- The weld metal is usually the strongest, do check the stresses in the parent metals.
- The fatigue stress-concentration factors listed in Table 95 are suggested for use.
These factors should be used for the parent metal as well as for the weld metal.

- The heating and consequent welding that
occur when an electric current is passed
through several parts that are pressed
together is called resistance welding.
- Spot weldingand seam weldingare forms of resistance welding most often used.
- The advantages of resistance welding over other forms are the speed, the accurate
regulation of time and heat, the uniformity of the weld, and the mechanical
properties that result. In addition the process is easy to automate, and filler metal
and fluxes are not needed.
- Seam welding is actually a series of overlapping spot welds, since the current is
applied in pulses as the work moves between the rotating electrodes.

where adhesives are used on a modern automobile. Indeed, the fabrication of
many modern vehicles, devices, and structures is dependent on adhesives.
- In well-designed joints and with proper processing procedures, use of adhesives
can result in significant reductions in weight.
- Eliminating mechanical fasteners eliminates the weight of the fasteners, and
also may permit the use of thinner-gauge materials because stress concentrationsassociated with the holes are eliminated.

- The capability of polymeric adhesives to dissipate energy can significantly
reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), crucial in modern automobile
performance.
- Adhesives can be used to assemble heat-sensitive materials or components that
might be damaged by drilling holes for mechanical fasteners.
- They can be used to join dissimilar materials or thin-gauge stock that cannot be

- There are numerous adhesive types for various applications. They may be
classified in a variety of ways depending on their chemistry (e.g., epoxies,
polyurethanes, polyimides), their form (e.g., paste, liquid, film, pellets, tape), theirtype (e.g., hot melt, reactive hot melt, thermosetting, pressure sensitive, contact), or
their load-carrying capability (structural, semi-structural, or nonstructural).
- Structural adhesivesare relatively strong adhesives that are normally used well
below their glass transition temperature; common examples include epoxies andcertain acrylics. Such adhesives can carry significant stresses, and they lend
themselves to structural applications.
- Contact adhesives, where a solution or emulsion containing an elastomeric
adhesive is coated onto both adherends, the solvent is allowed to evaporate, and
then the two adherends are brought into contact. Examples include rubber cement
and adhesives used to bond laminates to countertops.

-Pressure-sensitive adhesivesare very low modulus elastomers that deform easily
under small pressures, permitting them to wet surfaces. When the substrate and
adhesive are brought into intimate contact, van der Waals forces are sufficient tomaintain the contact and provide relatively durable bonds. Pressure-sensitive
adhesives are normally purchased as tapes or labels for nonstructural applications,
although there are also double-sided foam tapes that can be used in semi-structural
applications.
- As the name implies, hot meltsbecome liquid when heated, wetting the surfaces
and then cooling into a solid polymer (the glue guns in popular use).
- Anaerobic adhesivescure within narrow spaces deprived of oxygen; such
materials have been widely used in mechanical engineering applications to lock
bolts or bearings in place.

- Good design practice normally requires that adhesive joints be constructed in
such a manner that the adhesive carries the load in shear rather than tension.
Bonds are typically much stronger when loaded in shear rather than in tensionacross the bond plate.
- Lap-shear joints represent an important family of joints, both for test specimens
to evaluate adhesive properties and for actual incorporation into practical designs.
- Generic types of lap joints that commonly arise are illustrated in Fig. 925.
- The simplest analysis of lap joints suggests the applied load is uniformly
distributed over the bond area.

Design toplace bondline in shear, not peel. Beware of peel stresses focused at
bond terminations. When necessary, reduce peel stresses through tapering the
adherend ends increasing bond area where peel stresses occur, or utilizing rivets atbond terminations where peel stresses can initiate failures.
Where possible, use adhesives with adequate ductility. The ability of an adhesive
to yield reduces the stress concentrations associated with the ends of joints and
increases the toughness to resist debond propagation.
Recognize environmental limitationsof adhesives and surface preparation
methods. Exposure to water, solvents, and other diluents can significantly degrade
adhesive performance in some situation, through displacing the adhesive from the
surface or degrading the polymer. Certain adhesives may be susceptible to
environmental stress cracking in the presence of certain solvents. Exposure to
ultraviolet light can also degrade adhesives.

Design in a way thatpermits or facilitates inspections of bonds where possible. A
missing rivet or bolt is often easy to detect, but debonds or unsatisfactory adhesive
bonds are not readily apparent.
Allow for sufficient bond area so that the joint can tolerate some debonding
before going critical. This increases the likelihood that debonds can be detected.
Having some regions of the overall bond at relatively low stress levels can
significantly improve durability and reliability.
Where possible, bond to multiple surfaces to offer support to loads in any
direction. Bonding an attachment to a single surface can place peel stresses on the
bond, whereas bonding to several adjacent planes tends to permit arbitrary loads to
be carried predominantly in shear.
Adhesives can be used in conjunction with spot welding. The process is known as
weld bonding. The spot welds serve to fixture the bond until it is cured.
