Single-bevel with broader root groove
The single-bevel groove with a root face is a groove shape with a square root face on one side, used for T-joints or one-sided access constructions. It ensures a defined connection of the web plate.
Physical-Chemical Mechanism
The single-bevel groove with a root face has a square root face that allows precise and secure connection of the web plate during welding. This shape prevents the web plate from slipping or shifting.
Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks
If used incorrectly, the single-bevel groove can lead to uneven stress distribution and cause cracks in the web plate. It is important to guide the root face precisely to achieve a secure connection.
Shop Practice & Instructions
Use the single-bevel groove for T-joints or one-sided access constructions. Ensure the root face is precisely guided and the web plate is firmly positioned. Weld in the correct direction to ensure a secure connection.
