Abstract
The present invention provides a welding system and methodology to facilitate an improved fillet weld. The system includes an arc welding subsystem providing a fillet weld that joins one or more members. The arc welding subsystem controls one or more welding parameters and utilizes one or more controlled process variables, to facilitate geometric control of a toe angle, a toe radius, a throat dimension and a penetration depth associated with the joining of the fillet weld and the one or more members. The present invention also includes optimized welding parameters, welding wire alloys, and welding gas mixtures to promote an improved fillet weld.
