Q

Which is the term given to the joint formed when two steel plates are placed end-to-end?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Common welding and ship construction joint types • How plates are arranged: end-to-end vs edge-to-edge overlapping • Basic terminology used for joints versus the preparation of plate edges

💭 Think About

• Think about what you call it when two pieces are aligned in the same plane and joined at their ends, without overlapping. • Which option names a type of joint, and which ones describe either edge preparation or something more general about bonding materials? • On a ship, when hull or deck plates are continued in a straight line and joined, what is that joint commonly called in welding terminology?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which word is specifically used for a joint type between plates, not for overlap or surface connection. • Decide which term refers to edge preparation rather than the actual joint. • Eliminate any terms that are more general (like a generic connection or attachment) instead of a specific welded joint name.
