Double-Bevel Joint Configuration

DV weld is a symmetric V-groove with double-sided bevel, reducing distortion and allowing even stress distribution.

Physicochemical Mechanism of Action

The DV weld geometry prevents asymmetric stresses through a symmetric layer sequence. This leads to uniform distortion and improved mechanical stability of the weld.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

Asymmetric stress distribution can lead to cracks and hot cracks. The DV weld avoids these issues through its symmetric design, increasing the weld's service life.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

When making a DV weld, use a symmetric layer sequence and watch for uniform distortion. Temperature control during welding is essential to regulate stress distribution.
