No welding wire is added for base welding; Step 4: After the base welding is completed, weld the front TIG weld and the back TIG weld alternately.

[0007] In order to further solve the technical problems to be solved by the embodiments of the present application, in a full penetration welding method for austenitic stainless steel zero gap K-type joint provided in the embodiment of the present application, in the first step, the blunt edge length d=4mm±0.5mm of the welding groove, the blunt edge thickness e=1.8mm±0.2mm, and the blunt edge end groove angle α=45°±2.5°.
