Question

identify this welding joint type:

t-joint
corner joint
edge joint
lap joint
butt joint

Explanation:

Analyze the geometry of the joint

Using the Welding Joint Types knowledge point
The diagram shows two parallel metal plates placed side-by-side with their flanged edges aligned vertically. The weld is intended to join the adjacent parallel edges of these two members.

Identify the specific joint type

Using the Edge Joint knowledge point
An edge joint is formed when the surfaces of two or more parallel or nearly parallel members are joined at their edges. The flanged configuration shown in the image aligns the edges of both sheets together, which is a classic representation of an edge joint.

Answer:

• (A) T-joint
• (B) Corner joint
• (C) Edge joint (Correct answer)
• (D) Lap joint
• (E) Butt joint
