The basic joints used for weldment fabrications are: ____.

In certain cases, cutting and bending members to create joints for structural shapes may be more economical, even though more cutting and welding are required.

The selection of the weld is based on a few, limited factors.

For each type of joint, a number of different welds may be applied.

Standard welding ____ are used to indicate the welds required.

Joints for structural shapes may also be formed by ____ the members.

The flare ____ joints are used in weldments of heavier gauge materials where one or two of the members have a curved shape.

The design of the weld and/or the groove is usually the function of the ____________________.

Members of the joints to be welded may be formed to a particular shape in preparation for the weld to increase the ____ of the joint.
