Beveling

SteelPRO Group provides precise beveling services for all metals, including pipe beveling, ensuring high-quality edges for welding and assembly in various industries.

What is Beveling?

Beveling is a commonly used process in manufacturing, typically at a 45-degree angle. It creates an angled edge on a workpiece, usually metal, to facilitate joining or welding operations. The purpose of beveling is to provide a smooth transition between two surfaces, ensuring better fit and weld quality.

It also increases the contact area of the weld, improving the overall welding effectiveness. This process can be applied to all types of metals, including steel and aluminum.

Types of Bevel

  • V-Bevel: This is the most common type, featuring a “V” shape. It typically involves a 60-degree angle and is used to create a groove for deeper penetration in welding.
  • U-Bevel: This type has a rounded shape, resembling a “U.” It allows for increased weld pool volume and is often used in thicker materials.
  • J-Bevel: This bevel has a hook-like shape, allowing for good penetration while providing a smooth transition. It is often used in pipe welding.
  • Square Bevel: This type has a straight edge with a 90-degree angle. It is generally used for thinner materials or where full penetration is not necessary.
  • Single Bevel: In this method, only one side of the joint is beveled, creating a single slope. It is commonly used in butt joints.
  • Double Bevel: Both sides of the joint are beveled, allowing for a wider groove and deeper penetration. This is useful for thicker materials.
  • Flared Bevel: This type features a flared edge, which helps improve weld accessibility and is often used in piping applications.

Methods of Achieving Beveling

  • Bevel (Groove):
    Beveling is a process of creating an angled edge, typically at 45 degrees, for welding preparation. The bevel angle must be precise to ensure strong welds.
  • Flame and Plasma Cutting:
    These methods use high heat to cut and bevel metal edges. Plasma cutting is faster and more precise than flame cutting, but both can cause heat distortion.
  • CNC Cutting Machines: Automate beveling with high precision for complex parts, requiring accurate programming for desired angles.
  • Mechanical Cutting: Uses milling or grinding to create bevels, offering precise control but slower than other methods.
  • Laser Cutting: Provides precise, smooth bevels with a focused light beam, ideal for thin metals but less effective on thick materials.
  • Waterjet Cutting: Uses high-pressure water and abrasives to bevel metal without heat distortion, suitable for various materials but slower.
