The Importance of Beveling in Proper Weld Preparation

On a workpiece, beveling is the process of creating a smooth, even edge that is not perpendicular to the planes of the workpiece. One of the most crucial surface preparation processes in welding applications is beveling, but if performed incorrectly, the technique can slow productivity and create restrictive bottlenecks.

While poor preparation can lead to inadequate weld quality and improper joint fit-ups, consistency in the beveling process can lead to:

  • Improved accuracy
  • Reduction of excessive welding
  • Elimination of excess labor, heat input, and consumable wastage
