Q

The joint formed when two steel plates are placed end-to-end is called a __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Different names for joints in welded steel plates • How plates are arranged in relation to each other: edge-to-edge (in line) vs overlapping • Common ship-construction terms: seam, butt, lap joint, bevel

💭 Think About

• Visualize two flat plates placed end-to-end so their edges meet in a straight line. What is that joint called in basic welding and ship construction terminology? • Which option describes a type of joint rather than a process (bond) or a preparation/shape of the edge (bevel)? • In shipbuilding, what is the usual term for the line where two adjacent shell plates meet along their short ends?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which term is normally used for overlapping plates versus plates that just meet edge-to-edge. • Ask yourself: is a bevel the joint itself, or is it something done to the plate edges before joining? • Eliminate any choice that describes a general condition (like being stuck together) instead of a specific joint type.
