Straight cut Vs "Z" cut in CJP welds of I beams
Straight cut Vs "Z" cut in CJP welds of I beams
(OP)
Hi, does any one can tell me which is the best way in order to join two "I beams" by welding. I have heard that I could use a CJP weld in a straight cut or a CJP weld in a "Z" cut, which of these is the best?
Where can I find a book, web page, article, etc., that deals with this subject?
I think my English is not very good, so I´m including the following image
Thanks in advance

I have concerns fo the Z-cut due to the sharp corners that would be encountered and the difficulty in having the cuts align just so, little room for error.
Good luck - Al

the picture shows a riveted joint, but welded joints are similar.

You have shown the symbol for a double V butt weld but I would leave that up to the fabricator, so long as he uses a prequalified weld.
This would be for Australia.
