Synopsis

Weld distortion and buckling is caused by expansion and contraction of the weld and base metal during the heating and cooling cycle of the welding process. This book reviews ways of understanding and modelling welding residual stress and distortion. It also discusses a range of techniques for minimising bowing, buckling and angular distortion.

Key Features: provides a systematic overview of the methods of minimizing distortion and buckling in welded structures; focuses on understanding welding stress and distortion featuring computational welding mechanics and modelling the effect of phase transformations; explores different methods of minimizing welding distortion discussing differential heating and dynamic thermal tensioning.

Contents: Part 1 Understanding welding residual stress and distortion: Introduction to welding residual stress and distortion; Understanding welding stress and distortion using computational welding mechanics; Modelling the effects of phase transformations on welding stress and distortion; Modelling welding stress and distortion in large structures; Using computationally-efficient, reduced-solution methods to understand welding distortion. Part 2 Minimising welding distortion: Minimization of bowing distortion in welded stiffeners using differential heating; Dynamic thermal tensioning for controlling welding induced distortion; Minimizing buckling distortion in welding by weld cooling; Minimizing buckling distortion in welding by hybrid laser arc welding; Minimizing angular distortion in welding by reverse-side heating.
