What is a Fillet Weld?

A fillet weld is a type of weld that joins two pieces of metal at a right angle or an oblique angle. It is commonly used in various welding applications due to its simplicity and strength. The fillet weld is characterized by its triangular cross-section and is typically used to join two surfaces that are perpendicular or at an angle to each other. This type of weld is often used in structural steelwork, shipbuilding, and other applications where strong, reliable joints are required.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula to calculate the fillet weld size:

\[ W = 0.707 \times 10 = 7.07 \]

The Fillet Weld Size (W) is 7.07 mm.
