Can anyone describe me what is âBUTTERINGâ stands for in welding joint. If it is done before depositing the weld metal on job, is it necessary to remove the same by back chipping. Mr. Das, Buttering is a technique in which weld is applied to the surface in order to acheive desired properties or required dimensions. For example in fit-up/butt joint, if distance between two butting members is excess, buttering is done on one member to reduce the gap.
