Dear All
Any body can explain me why we do buttering on weld edges of similar materials before welding .

Dear Mehta
Buttering weld is procedure to rectify wide gaps (root openings) greater than those permitted by AWS D11 (normally found in tubular joint in structural connection) and/or client specification, but not greater than 19 mm or twice the thickness of the thinner part, whichever is lesser. Procedure shall be qualified.

In addition to the two listed, there is one additional case where buttering may be performed. Buttering may be performed to provide a buffer layer between incompatible materials or to enhance the weldability of a joint between dissimilar materials. While I am sure there are numerous examples, one instance I have experienced is welding Monel K500 to carbon steel – the Monel K500 was buttered with Monel prior to making the weld to avoid weld metal and HAZ cracking.
