Question

identify this welding joint type:

butt joint
t-joint
lap joint
corner joint
edge joint

Explanation:

Analyze the joint geometry

Using the Welding Joint Types knowledge point, we examine the physical arrangement of the two metal workpieces in the provided diagram. The two plates are placed parallel to each other with their flanged edges aligned side-by-side, forming a joint along their adjacent outer edges.

Identify the specific joint type

Using the Edge Joint knowledge point

• A butt joint involves plates aligned in the same plane.
• A T-joint places one plate perpendicular to the other forming a "T".
• A lap joint consists of overlapping plates.
• A corner joint joins two plates at their edges to form an "L" shape.
• An edge joint joins the parallel edges of adjacent, touching members. The diagram clearly shows an edge joint configuration.

Answer:

• Butt joint
• T-joint
• Lap joint
• Corner joint
• Edge joint (Correct answer)
