Synopsis

A thorough examination of hand-welding for thin steel plates used in storage tanks, with practical findings.


This report documents static tests of welds made by electric arc on relatively thin plates, comparing different joint types and weld-rods. It focuses on the physical properties of the weld material, the strength of various weld configurations, and how welds perform in lap and butt joints under load. The work aims to guide practitioners on selecting weld methods that balance strength, manufacturability, and cost.




  • How weld material behaves after deposition, including strength and ductility.

  • Relative merits of different butt and lap joint designs for thin plates.

  • Effects of using various weld-rods on joint strength and reliability.



Ideal for engineers, welding technicians, and students involved in tank fabrication or structural welding who seek practical guidance from controlled, real-world tests.
