Nautical Term: Welding bead
Definition of Welding bead
vastly elongated definition: A welding bead refers to the continuous layer of molten metal that is deposited along a joint during the welding process. By carefully applying this molten metal with a welding stick, welders can effectively close the joint and create a strong, continuous weld seam.
Paragraph example: During the repair of a damaged hull, the welder applied a series of welding beads to create a strong, continuous weld seam. By carefully controlling the flow of molten metal and the application pressure with the welding stick, the welder was able to effectively close the joint and create a strong, watertight weld seam. This essential repair work ensured the continued safety and seaworthiness of the vessel.
