Fillet welds are located along the

wedge-shaped edge of
connected parts and their basic

cross-section includes an isosceles

rectangular triangle. They are
usually used for load-bearing,

force welds in T-shape

connection, cross-butt

connections, angle connections
and for lap joints. The welded

parts do not need shape

adjustment.

For statically loaded connections,

usually a flat weld is used, while a
concave weld is more

appropriate for dynamically

loaded connections, as it has
lower notch effects.
