Filler-metal requirements for groove welds
When two metal parts are joined, to ensure complete welding / fusion, we prepare the edge
( make a grove / gap). To fill this gap we need additonal metal, which is fed in the form of filler
metal.
Sometimes, the joint needs different mechanical properties than the base metal, like better
elongation or strength, this requirement is also addressed by the filler metal.
In many processes, notably , MIG and MMA the electrode is also the filler and is consumed
as part of the process and is an important part of the heat transfer mechanism.

If the joining metal is thin (1 or 2 mm) and its edge is being welded , sometimes filler is not used.
