a) Lap joint is the recommended form for these assemblies. Generally, the area of overlap in the joint is kept large in order to make it stronger than the weakest member of the assembly.
It is the recommended configuration for soldering.
A common thumb rule: Allow an overlap of at least three times the thickness of the thinnest member.
b) Butt joints are avoided as they are weak due to small joint areas. They are not recommended unless strength requirements are very low and there is no need for a pressure seal at the joint.
c) Scarf Joint: To provide a greater joint area, scarf joints are recommended.
