No edge weld symbol in SolidWorks?

I dont see a edge weld symbol listed in SolidWorks. Does SolidWorks
use a different name for this type of weld?

 

ANSI has a Flange Edge & Flange Corner.
You may want to take a look at Square (Butt).

 

Flange Edge isnt correct, since I need 3 pieces of flat sheetmetal to
be welded together on the edge. Any ideas?

 

I figured as much. I already submitted my idea.
Use Square (Butt), although not butted in the true sense, it will work.

good luck.

 

Seam weld?

Tom

 

Seam weld is only for welding the seam. An edge weld will weld the
seam, plus the rest of the material around it. Think of taking (2)
pieces of 1/4" sheetmetal pieces, the same size, and sandwich them
together. A seam weld will weld just the seam between them. An edge
weld will form a weld bead covering both edges of the sheetmetal plus
the seam.

 

Butt weld.

 

Why not just draw a picture (worth a thousand words).

A simple note will also work.

For 2 edges .059" thk, I use a square symbol with .118" bead width and
convex finish (grind or no grind). Works perfectly.

For 3 edges (.059") you could still do the same thing. Use a square symbol
with .177" bead width and convex finish (grind or no grind). Take tip of
symbol and center on middle piece (arrow changes to a dot).
