Ha u tjheseletsa liphaephe tsa tšepe, u lokela ho ela hloko lintlha tse latelang:

Ntlha ea pele, hloekisa bokaholimo ba phala ea tšepe. Pele o tjheseletsa, etsa bonnete ba hore bokahodimo ba phala ya tshepe bo hlwekile mme ha bo na oli, pente, metsi, mafome le ditshila tse ding. Litšila tsena li ka 'na tsa ama tsoelo-pele e ntle ea welding' me li ka baka mathata a polokeho. Lisebelisoa tse kang mabili a silang le borashe ba terata li ka sebelisoa bakeng sa ho hloekisa.
Taba ea bobeli, ho lokisoa ha bevel. Ho ea ka botenya ba lebota la phala ea tšepe, fetola sebopeho le boholo ba groove ea welding. Haeba botenya ba lebota bo le botenya, groove e ka ba kholoanyane hanyane; haeba botenya ba lebota bo le bobebe, groove e ka ba nyane. Ka nako e ts'oanang, ho boreleli le ho bata ha groove ho lokela ho netefatsoa bakeng sa welding e ntle.
Ntlha ea boraro, khetha mokhoa o nepahetseng oa ho tjheseletsa. Khetha mokhoa o nepahetseng oa tjheseletsa ho latela thepa, litlhaloso le litlhoko tsa tjheseletsa tsa phala ea tšepe. Ka mohlala, bakeng sa lipoleiti tse tšesaane kapa liphaephe tsa tšepe e tlaase ea carbon, welding e sirelelitsoeng ka khase kapa argon arc welding e ka sebelisoa; bakeng sa lipoleiti tse teteaneng kapa meaho ea tšepe, ho ka sebelisoa li-arc welding kapa li-arc welding.
Ea bone, laola likarolo tsa welding. Mekhahlelo ea ho tjheseletsa e kenyelletsa hona joale, motlakase, lebelo la ho tjheseletsa, joalo-joalo Mekhahlelo ena e lokela ho fetoloa ho latela thepa le botenya ba phala ea tšepe ho netefatsa boleng ba welding le katleho.
Ea bohlano, ela hloko kalafo ea preheating le post-welding. Bakeng sa tšepe e 'ngoe e nang le k'habone e phahameng kapa tšepe ea alloy, ho hlokahala kalafo ea preheating pele ho tjheseletsa ho fokotsa khatello ea maikutlo le ho thibela ho hlaha ha mapetsong. Kalafo ea post-weld e kenyelletsa ho pholile ha weld, ho tlosa slag ea welding, joalo-joalo.

Qetellong, latela mekhoa e sireletsehileng ea ts'ebetso. Nakong ea ts'ebetso ea ho cheselletsa, ho lokela ho lebisoa tlhokomelo ho mekhoa e sireletsehileng ea ts'ebetso, joalo ka ho apara liaparo tse sireletsang, liatlana le limaske. Ka nako e ts'oanang, lisebelisoa tsa ho cheselletsa li lokela ho hlahlojoa le ho hlokomeloa khafetsa ho netefatsa hore li sebetsa ka mokhoa o tloaelehileng.
