🔍 Key Concepts

• Heat input and distortion in arc welding and how multiple passes affect expansion and contraction • Difference between single-V and double-V groove preparations and how they balance shrinkage forces • How symmetrical welding on both sides of a joint influences bending and warping

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the plate every time you add another pass – does spreading the total heat over more, smaller passes usually increase or decrease overall distortion? • Compare a weld made entirely from one side with a single-V to one made from both sides with a double-V: which arrangement better balances the pulling (shrinkage) forces? • If you welded a heavy bead all on one side of a flat plate, what kind of distortion would you expect compared to welding equal beads on both sides?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on whether more passes with smaller beads typically increase or decrease distortion compared to fewer heavy passes. • Identify which joint design (single-V vs double-V) allows shrinkage forces to be balanced around the centerline of the plates. • Check that the choice you select has both parts logically consistent: the statement about number of passes vs distortion should match the statement about joint type and welding from one or both sides.
