Hello All. My name is Brian, and I am from NW Ohio. I struck my first arc in 95 and have been in the industry ever since. I've worked as a welder/fitter, inspector (both in structural steel) and now as an instructor. I have been teaching about 6-7 years now full time and like it alright. It is much like the elevator business with its ups and downs!
I consider myself pretty well versed in welding symbols, but have a question about a very basic joint. I am making a drawing for my class to work on in the future, and am wondering whether to use a fillet symbol, or a flare bevel symbol. This is important because I don't want to show them something incorrect. I am leaning toward the flare bevel symbol, but I have seen this exact joint drawn with fillet symbols.
Any help would be appreciated. I look forward to learning and contributing where I can here too.
And it is not allowing me to attach my picture. The joint I am talking about is a flat plate, with a piece of steel angle iron laid on top of it so that the heel of the angle is pointing up.
This link, first picture....assume the white surface is the plate those angles are being welded to.
