strengthen a piece of material. Factory fabrication demonstrates the cost-effectiveness of butt welding versus the more expensive overall processes of bending stock, reinforcing joints, and using fasteners where required.

Butt welding is accomplished by heating up two pieces of metal, of those. Penetration while welding the metal is important to maintain and with thin pieces of metal this is possible however, with thick pieces edge preparation may have to be done to prepare the metal. Full penetration butt welds are made when they are
