How to define weld material..?

Martin Tofts Oct 30, 2017 11:54 AM

I have a bead weld, but I would like to know how to set the material of the weld.

Sometimes we have to tell people to use 316 wire instead of 304. In Inventor you could define via the weld properties.

I have found the properties, but nothing that links materials to the library... not sure why this would be needed...

You can add that in the note section of the weld symbol or create a weld bead and set material in the part.

  Yes, that's the option I have used.
  
  Not sure why they can't just link it to the material library, instead of having to add it manually.
