Welding Etiquette for Corrosion
Welding Etiquette for Corrosion
(OP)
When welded connections are for exterior industrial steel platforms, walkways and such, is it better to weld-all-around in order to seal against corrosion?
I'm refering to things such as gusset plates, connection plates,and stiffeners welded to W-shapes and channels. I realize there are situations where "turning a corner" or welding around the end of plates or flange tips can create stress concentrations, or weak points in the weld. It's these areas that I'm mainly questioning.

These holes may end up anywhere the galvanizers see fit. Typically they are located as vents at the top of the part (the last part to enter the bath).
