Controlling Welding-induced Distortion Through Numerical Modeling (Page 5)

Controlling Welding-induced Distortion Through Numerical Modeling

During welded fabrication, high localized heat input and subsequent rapid cooling result in the creation of residual stresses that lead to distortion.

Challenges in Heavy Manufacturing, Part I: Predicting Weld Distortion

Weld-induced distortion is caused by non-uniform expansion and contraction of the weld metal and adjacent base metal during the heating and cooling cycle.
