Figure 3.24 Tee Joint Fillet Weld Weave Patterns
The lap joint, while involving the same fundamental weld type, the fillet, has metal distributed differently and therefore
requires still another technique. The details of the application are given in Figure 3.2, for a single pass weld. For a two pass
weld, Figure 3.26 provides the details.

WELDING VERTICALLY, HORIZONTALLY AND OVERHEAD
The importance of welding in the flat position, whenever possible, cannot be stressed too strongly. The quality of the weld
is better, the operation easier and faster. However, occasions will arise when it is necessary to work on parts in a position in
which welds must be deposited horizontally, vertically and overhead. It must be realized at the very beginning that welding
in these positions is difficult and will require constant practice to develop skill.
