Other variations exist as well - for example, double-V preparation joints are characterized by the two pieces of material each tapering to a single center point at one-half their height. The five basic types of weld joints are the butt joint, lap joint, corner joint, edge joint, and T-joint (a variant of this last is the cruciform joint).

Welds can be geometrically prepared in many different ways. Many different energy sources can be used for welding, including a gas flame, an electric arc, a laser, an electron beam, friction, and ultrasound. This is in contrast with soldering and brazing, which involve melting a lower-melting-point material between the workpieces to form a bond between them, without melting the workpieces. This is often done by melting the workpieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to become a strong joint, with pressure sometimes used in conjunction with heat, or by itself, to produce the weld. 'Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. Use it to indicate welding operations on working drawings. The vector stencils library 'Welding' contains 38 welding joint symbols to identify fillets, contours, resistance seams, grooves, surfacing, and backing. The engineering drawing example 'Butt weld geometry' is included in the Mechanical Engineering solution from the Engineering area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

This engineering drawing example was redesigned using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software from the Wikimedia Commons file: Butt Weld Geometry.GIF. Lap joints are also commonly more than two pieces thick - depending on the process used and the thickness of the material, many pieces can be welded together in a lap joint geometry.' Single-U and double-U preparation joints are also fairly common - instead of having straight edges like the single-V and double-V preparation joints, they are curved, forming the shape of a U. 'Welds can be geometrically prepared in many different ways. This engineering drawing shows different types of geometry of butt welds.
