introduction to welding: weld types, positions, and symbols
quiz
question 2 of 10
identify this welding joint type:
lap joint
corner joint
t-joint
edge joint
butt joint

Explanation:

Analyze the joint geometry

The image shows two metal plates positioned perpendicular to each other, forming the shape of a letter "T". One plate lies flat horizontally, and its edge meets the vertical surface of the other plate.

Identify the joint type

Using the Welding Joint Geometry concept, we classify the five basic joint types:

• Butt joint: Two members aligned in the same plane.
• Corner joint: Two members meeting at a right angle at their edges to form an L-shape.
• T-joint: Two members meeting at approximately a right angle, forming a T-shape.
• Lap joint: Two overlapping members.
• Edge joint: Two parallel members joined at their edges.

The diagram clearly illustrates a T-joint configuration.

Answer:

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