Strength reduction factors for welded edge joints

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on strength reduction factors for welded edge joints, specifically referencing standards from ASME, SAE, and AWS. Participants seek literature to understand the material and geometry dependencies, as well as environmental effects on welded joints. A notable publication mentioned is "Welding Design TI-809-26," which addresses strength reduction effects when welding under load. Clarification is provided regarding the types of joints being discussed, emphasizing the need for precise definitions in welding contexts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of welding standards such as ASME, SAE, and AWS
  • Familiarity with welded joint types, including lap joints and butt joints
  • Knowledge of material properties and their impact on welding
  • Awareness of environmental factors affecting welding processes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research ASME and AWS standards for welded joints
  • Study the publication "Welding Design TI-809-26" for insights on strength reduction
  • Explore material properties relevant to welding applications
  • Investigate environmental effects on welding performance
USEFUL FOR

Welders, structural engineers, and quality assurance professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of strength reduction factors in welded edge joints.

I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find any information.

Would someone be kind enough to point me to some literature?

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..
