Friction stir welding (FSW) is now widely used in industrial manufacturing fields to join metal
materials. Although it avoids solidification cracking, the combination of thermal excursion …

The weld length of ship block subassemblies is several meters even tens of meters long,
mainly welded by arc welding. The inherent strain method, applying the same inherent strain …

Different dimensions of tensile test specimen can be used for qualification of welding
procedure according to the existing standard. However, they are found to be dissimilar in …

Weldments of 347H stainless steel are potentially susceptible to stress relaxation cracking at
elevated service temperatures. Mitigation of stress relaxation cracking susceptibility within a …

Residual stress strongly influences the safety of welded joints of pipelines in mountainous
areas with large slopes. But there isn't an effective calculation model. This paper bases on …

Joining aluminum alloys with arc welding methods is frequently subject to literature and
industrial applications. Although aluminum alloys have different difficulties in the arc welded …

Transient thermal tensioning (TTT) as an in-process technique is extensively used to
mitigate welding induced buckling during the fabrication of thin plate welded structures …

Weld distortion refers to the phenomenon of shrinkage around the weld seam and warping
of the outer weldment edges. This leads to a deviation from the original straight force transfer …

Considering the effect of heat input of tungsten inert gas (TIG) arc welding for T-joint welding
of thin-walled parts of aluminum alloy 6061-T6, here, the welding characteristics are …

The plate-to-sleeve welded joint is employed in the aluminum alloy spatial structure. The
welding deformation and residual stress determine the dimensional accuracy and even …
