I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find any information.
Would someone be kind enough to point me to some literature?

Strength reduction factors for welded edge joints
In summary, the conversation is about finding information on welding design. The suggestions given are to check specific standards from organizations such as ASME, SAE, and AWS, as well as a publication on welding design. The effects on strength and other factors such as material, geometry, and environment are also mentioned. It is clarified that the term "welded edge" refers to edge joints rather than lap or butt joints.

I think ASME, SAE and AWS would have specific standards.
There may be examples in this publication - http://www.metalwebnews.org/ftp/welding-design-TI-809-26.pdf For example, see - STRENGTH REDUCTION EFFECTS AND OTHER CONCERNS WHEN WELDING UNDER LOAD
It's usually material and geometry dependent, but then there are environmental effects as well.
By welded edge, is one thinking of lap joints or butt joints?

Thanks for the reply.
Neither. By edge joint I mean something like this..

1. What are strength reduction factors for welded edge joints?
Strength reduction factors for welded edge joints are a set of values that are used to reduce the calculated strength of a welded joint in order to account for factors such as load type, joint geometry, and material properties. These factors are determined through extensive testing and are used to ensure the safety and reliability of welded structures.
2. How are strength reduction factors determined?
Strength reduction factors for welded edge joints are determined through a combination of laboratory testing and analytical methods. These factors are based on the type of loading, joint geometry, material properties, and other relevant factors. The American Welding Society (AWS) provides guidelines for determining these factors, which are widely used in the industry.
3. Why are strength reduction factors important?
Strength reduction factors are important because they help engineers and designers accurately assess the strength of welded joints and ensure the safety and reliability of structures. Without these factors, there is a higher risk of failure and potential harm to individuals and property.
4. Are strength reduction factors the same for all types of welded edge joints?
No, strength reduction factors can vary depending on the type of welded edge joint. Factors such as joint geometry, material properties, and loading conditions can affect the strength of a joint, and therefore, different factors may need to be applied for different types of joints.
5. Can strength reduction factors change over time?
Yes, strength reduction factors can change over time. As new materials and welding techniques are developed and tested, these factors may be updated to reflect the latest industry standards. It is important for engineers and designers to stay informed and use the most current strength reduction factors for their projects.
