|
When steel plates are welded together, at an angle of 90 degrees, the edges that meet are ground at 45 degrees. This gives a much stronger joint. |
After grinding, the joint is positioned and ‘tacked’ to ensure there is no movement during the welding procedure. |
The entire joint is welded. It is allowed to cool slowly. Rapid cooling, such as dipping in cold water will damage the joint and possibly weaken it. |
