Bead welding is a process of combining metal pieces by heating and softening them with a filler material. There are different types of weld beads, and the technique involves drawing a filler material across the weld surface. Safety precautions are necessary, and advanced techniques can produce a finished product that resembles stacked coins or discs. Bead welding is used in all forms of welding, and multiple weld beads can create a stronger connection between surfaces.
A weld bead or weld bead is the result of a weld pass that deposits filler material. Welding is a process of combining multiple pieces of metal by heating and softening them. With seam welding, a filler material is inserted into the space between the two materials. As the metal filler cools, a strong bond forms between the two surfaces.
This type of welding is the first form of welding most people learn. There are different types of weld beads, depending on how much oscillation the welder uses when applying the filler material to the weld surface. When the welder uses multiple swings, the result is a texture bead, which is a broader application of the filler metal. When the welder uses fewer side-to-side swings, the result is tighter weld beads, known as weld beads.
The bead welding technique is a basic welding technique that involves drawing a filler material across the weld surface. As with all welding techniques, seam welding requires the exercise of proper safety techniques and the use of safety clothing. At a minimum, always wear welding gloves, as well as adequate eye protection.
From the point of view of the cross section, the weld bead appears as a round deposit. A welder may need to create several weld beads to completely seal the two base materials together. Advanced bead welding and bead welding techniques produce a finished product that resembles stacked coins or discs.
Bead welding is used in all forms of welding, although the technique may differ slightly from one to another. Welders using the arc welding technique will strike an arc and then lay an arc weld bead. In arc welding, the arc is struck in the same way as a match would be struck. The welder holds the electrode at a 45 or 90 degree angle while laying weld beads.
When learning the seam welding technique, welders can lay the seam weld in a straight line, more like a bead. As welders improve their techniques, they can apply transverse oscillation to create weaving beads in varying degrees of width. Circular and crescent-shaped motions are common when creating arc or stick weld beads.
Welders can use bead welding techniques to create groove welds, square welds, and bevel groove welds. You can apply multiple weld beads to create a stronger connection between weld surfaces. A fillet weld is adaptable to a variety of different butt joints.
