Question 2

What is the standard included groove angle typically used in a V-groove butt weld for structural steel per AWS D1.1?

Accepted Answer

60 degrees

Answer

A 60-degree included angle is the standard for V-groove butt welds in structural steel per AWS D1.1, providing good fusion with acceptable filler metal consumption.
