The effect of weld filler metal austenite to acicular ferrite transformation temperature on the
residual stresses that arise during the gas metal arc welding of a low carbon steel has been …

The effect of solid-state phase transformation at low temperatures on residual stresses in
butt welded ferritic thin steel plates has been examined employing a finite element (FE) …

Weld distortion is particularly problematic for large thin structures that are used in the
assembly of ships. The drive toward lighter ships and thinner plate is restricted by the …

The welding simulation is carried out by an uncoupled thermal and mechanical analysis or
by a coupled thermo–mechanical analysis. For weld–induced distortion and residual stress …

Current trends in ship design are to reduce panel thickness in order to minimise the vessels
weight and hence maximise speed. These panels are manufactured through butt welding …

The macro-and microtextures of gas metal arc welds fabricated using both conventional
ferritic and low transformation temperature (LTT) filler metals were examined. Both welds …

Residual stress distributions have been measured on thin (4 mm thick) plates made from a
ferritic steel designated grade DH-36 using the neutron diffraction technique. The welded …

Residual stress distributions have been established on thin (4 mm thick) plates made from a
ferritic steel designated grade DH-36, which is relevant to ship construction. The influence of …

Many metal structures are assembled from thin plate with welded supports for stiffness to
resist local loadings. However, welded joints, which require large heat input, may incur …

The distortion in thin plate structures is often mistakenly totally attributed to the welding
carried out on such structures. During the pre-construction and construction phases of a …
