Abstract: High weld fatigue class transverse butt joint welds utilizing customized consumable weld inserts laid into the root of the joint. The customized consumable weld inserts may be produced with a 3D printer using digital data obtained by scanning of the joint or from product specifications. The insert may be printed or formed using one or more metal powders that may be solidified by the 3D printer.
