Arc Strike - any inadverant change in the contour of the finished weld or
base material resulting from an arc generated by the passage of
electrical energy between the surface of the finished weld or base
material and a current source, such as welding electrodes or magnetic
inspection prods.
Back gouging - the removal of weld metal and base metal from the other
side of a partially welded joint to ensure complete penetration upon
subsequent welding from that side.
Backing - a material placed at the root of a weld joint for the purpose of
supporting molten weld metal.
Complete fusion - fusion which has occurred over the entire base
material surfaces intended for welding, and between all layers and
passes.
Double welded butt joint - a lap joint in which the overlapped edges of
the members to be joined are welded along the edges of both members.
Dwell - the time during which the electrode rests at any point in each
oscillating swing or traverse.
Electrode:
Arc welding electrode - a component of the welding circuit through which
current is conducted between the electrode holder and the arc. (see arc
welding)
Lightly coated electrode - a filler metal electrode consisting of a metal wire with a light
coating applied subsequent to the drawing operation primarily for stabilizing the arc.
Metal electrode - a filler or nonfiller metal electrode, used in arc welding or cutting,
consisting of a meta wire or rod has been manufactured by any method that is either bare or
covered with a suitable covering or coating.
Flux, active (SAW) - a flux from the amount of elements deposited in the
weld metal is dependent upon the welding conditions, primarily arc
voltage.
Fuel gases - gases usually used with oxygen for heating, such as
acetylene, natural gas, hydrogen, propane, methylacetylene propadiene
stablized, and other synthetic fuels and hydrocarbons.
Fusion - The meelting together of filler metal and base metal, or of base
metal only, which results in coalaescence.
Fusion line - In a weldment, the interface between weld metal and base
metal, or between base metal parts when filler metal is not used (also
called bond line).
Hard-facing weld metal overlay - weld metal deposits on base metal and
weld metals to deter the effects of wear or abrasion.
Single-welded butt joint - a butt joint welded from one side only.
Groove weld - The joint penetration (depth of chamfering plus the root
penetration when specified)
Fillet weld: for equal leg fillet welds - the leg lengths of the largest
isosceles right triangle which can be inscribed within the fillet weld cross
section.
Fillet weld: for unequal leg fillet welds - the leg lengths of the largest
right triangle which can be inscribed within the fillet-weld cross section.
Stud welding - a general term for the joining of a metal stud or similar
part to a workpiece. welding may be accomplished by arc, resistance,
friction, or other suitable process with or without external gas shielding.
Test specimen - a sample of a test coupon for specific test. The specific
may be a bend test, tension test, impact test, chemical analysis,
macrotest, etc. A specimen may be a complete test coupon, for
example, in radio-graphic testing or small diameter pipe tension testing.
Actual throat - the shortest distance from the root of a fillet weld to its
face.
Theoretical throat - the distance from the beginning of the root of the joint
perpendicular to the hypotenuse of the largest right triangle that can be
inscribed within the fillet-weld cross section.
Weld bead - a weld deposit resulting from a pass. (see stringer bead and
weave bead)
Weld metal overlay - one or more layers of weld metal on the surface of
a base metal to obtain desired properties and/or dimensions.
