What is the effective throat thickness dimension of 10mm fillet weld made by shielded metal arc welding and submerged arc welding?(a) 4.6mm, 5mm(b) 5mm, 4.6mm(c) 8.6mm, 7mm(d) 7mm, 8.6mmI got this question in final exam.Question is taken from Design of Welds topic in section Welded Connections of Design of Steel Structures

Answer» CORRECT answer is (d) 7MM, 8.6mm

Explanation: a) Using SHIELDED metal arc welding PROCESS,

effective throat thickness = 0.7a = 0.7×10 = 7mm

b) Using submerged arc welding (we get BETTER penetration than shielded metal arc welding):

a = 10+2.4 = 12.4mm

effective throat thickness = 0.7a = 0.7×12.4 = 8.6mm.
