Bevelling is the process of removing material from the edge of a metal workpiece to create a defined angle or chamfer.
This process is mainly applied to plates and pipes in order to properly prepare them for subsequent welding.
Why is bevelling performed?
Bevelling is a key step in weld preparation, as it allows:
- Improved weld penetration
- Stronger and more reliable joints
- Reduced weld defects
- Lower rework and production costs
