For a good joint strength the<br />

liquid filler metal; must flow into<br />

the gap between the metal pieces<br />

to be joined <strong>and</strong> cover the entire<br />

surface area, without gaps or blow<br />

holes. The following usually<br />

insures good bonding:<br />

– Clean base metal surfaces<br />

– Maintain optimum gap<br />

– Heat the joining area above melting<br />

temperature of the filler material<br />

– Use fluxes for welding of base metal<br />

surfaces.<br />

Joint strength is sensitive to the<br />

gap <strong>and</strong> there exists an optimum<br />

gap for a filler material.
