buttweldsveising
Buttweldsveising, or butt weld welding, is a method of joining two metal pieces along their abutting edges to form a single, continuous seam. The joint type is called a butt joint, and the weld is made from one side or both sides, depending on accessibility, material, and thickness. Butt welds are commonly used for tubulars, plates, and structural components because they provide high strength with relatively simple preparation.
Preparation and fit-up are critical for a sound butt weld. Edges are cleaned, beveled if required by
Any of several welding processes can be used for buttweldsveising, including shielded metal arc welding (SMAW),
Quality assurance typically involves visual inspection, nondestructive testing (such as ultrasonics or radiography), and documentation of
Buttweldsveising is versatile across many metals, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, and is widely
