Page 19: Multiple Pass Welding
MULTIPLE PASS WELDING Butt Weld Joints. When butt welding thicker materials, you will need to prepare the edges of the material to be joined by grinding a bevel on the edge of one or both pieces of the metal being joined. When this is done, a V is created between the two pieces of metal, that will have to be welded closed. -
