In this week's video, Austin goes over how to get the perfect fillet weld size and how to properly measure them using fillet weld gauges to help answer a question from a member over in the weld app. He goes in depth on welding symbols that tell you where to place your welds along with the sizing and spacing, talking about some tolerances when you go to use your gauges, and see the range of sizes that you might encounter in the field. If you have a question that you would like to have answered drop it over in the weld app and you might just see it in a future video.

The one point you left out that I think you should have mentioned regarding fillet weld sizes. You mentioned that the fillet should be at least thick as the thinnest material. What also is good to know is that if the joint is welded from both sides, then the size of the fillet weld only needs to be half the thickness of the thinnest material. Providing it’s welded from both sides. For example, you’re welding a T-joint with 1/2” material. The fillet weld only needs to be 1/4” on both sides. Both together equaling the 1/2” plate thickness. I just happened upon your channel. It’s good to see good advice being handed to those looking to learn. A resource like this would have been great when I was attending trade school or during my apprenticeship. Nice job

Where’d you get that information. I’ve heard that if you can’t get to both sides, you double T when determining the formula. Obviously depends on codes and material.

Thanks for some useful information on the weld cymbals. As for the 4 inch pitch, surely it’s easier to mark 0,4,8 etc and mark 2 inches ahead of each position as you go. I’m in the UK and use metric, I do lots of stitch welding every 100mm, miss 100mm. It’s so easy to put down marks every 100mm (4inches) with a metric tape measure down a 5 metre (16 foot) beam for example.🇬🇧 Edit, I’ve programmed my brain to remember, when the weld symbol is on top, it means over the top of the steel. As in the other side!

Those are some satisfying fillets man. I've ran a lot of fillets in all three positions - lots of .035 er70s6 with a CO2 bottle for short circuit and an Ar/CO2/OX mix for spray transfer. Easily my favorite type of weld to perform. I have had to use my 1" fillet gauge once. It was on 1" thick material that was also specified full penetration for the stiffening plate that I was welding into the chunkiest S beam that I have seen in my life. This was doubled ~10" below with another full pen 1" thick stiffening plate There were two additional stiffeners as well that formed a longitudinally divided box, 1/2" plate. These received the smallest fillets at 1/2" This was all mirrored on the other side. To this day I have no idea what that column supported. It weighed close to three tons, was maybe 12' long. I guess what I'm rambling towards is that you might actually end up using that 1" gauge someday! Should have mentioned, that machine has got the guts to spray if you give it the right gas! Not as much spatter as I would have thought. Was that 75CO2/25Ar? Great video!

Haha that’s some heavy welding for sure! I’ve made some big ones on some vessels. And yeah that was just 75/25

@@austinhargett5792 Thought so, probably why the globular transfer at the end had less spatter than I expected. This is an interesting result to me. I'll have to look over which positions and situations globular transfer is pre-certified for. If it is similar to spray transfer the addition of argon to control spatter might push electrode efficiency up enough to offset the cost of the argon. Time to get out the AWS manuals. Thanks again for the video, observations, and idea.

I use the 1” fillet gauge pretty regularly. Welding 2” steel together.

Thanks very much. Even though I dont understand your inch measurements (you guys really should join the metric system…) the explenations of the weld symbols was very useful.

Thank you, maybe we will have to do a series in metric.
