Here is the classic Lincoln Electric film on distortion control, starring Mr. Shrink!  Anyone who has been through the basic SMAW class at Lincoln has seen this, and all beginners, and a few veterans should watch.. enjoy

Reply:Can someone explain the fillet welding method at about 7:30 in the video?
Reply:They are refering to "Fleet weld" A Lincoln term.  Commercial name for higher penetration with small fillet size.  With a small fillet you get less distortion.  If you can ensure that you have penetrated deeper then you can reduce size and have the same strength.   All this relies on proof by qualifying the weld procedure to convince the engineer that the effective throat is actually there even though the fillet size is small.
