As metal is heated it expands. Heat travels thru metals causing it to expand while the adjacent areas are relatively cool and not expanding. The areas in the weld zone become molten and expand more than the rest of the metal. As this metal expands the cooler area around it prevents it from doing so causing the material to move in a different direction. As the metal cools it contracts and tries to return to its original size/shape causing some of the cooler metal to prevent that from happening. Preheat and postheat can keep this from becoming too severe. Cast iron must be treated this way to prevent it from cracking.

What causes warpage or distortion during welding?
Warping in welding is caused by shrinkage of weld metal, faulty clamping of parts, faulty preparation and overheating of joints. Distortion in welding is caused by uneven heating, improper sequence and the shrinkage of the deposited metal.

What is the verb of distortion?
The verb for distortion is distort. As in "to distort something".
What would happen if you use a 6010 welding rod on an AC welding machine?
6010 is intended for DC welding. It has no additives in the covering to keep the arc going each time the AC voltage reverses, so it is very hard to keep the arc struck. The result is usually poor quality welds. The solution is to switch to a rod designed for AC, such as 6013.

When did Total Distortion happen?
Total Distortion happened in 1995.
What are welding defects?
1. crack 2. spatter 3.distortion 4. haz 5 blow holes
The possibility of distortion in the case of submerged arc welding comment by giving reasons?
The heat input in the case of Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) is higher than that in manual welding process. Reason is that the welding proceeds continuously while the work is rotated. In manual welding, it is controlled by the welder besides the time gap for changeover of electrode, relaxation by operator etc.
What are the problems that can occur with the welding activities and how these can be overcome?
Many problems can be experienced in welding including cracks, infusions and distortion. Generally these can be avoided by eliminating hydrogen, keeping temperature under control and controlling the atmospheric pressure of the environment.
What is it welding sequence and explain about it?
Weld sequence would specify the order in which welds are to be made on a structure to help against distortion and residual stresses.
What has the author V A Vinokurov written?
V. A. Vinokurov has written: 'Welding stresses and distortion' -- subject(s): Residual stresses, Welded joints
What is distortion in welding?
it moves Because almost all Elements expand when heated and contract when cooled. As you are welding the metal at that location is trying to expand because of the heat. Ahead of the weld area the metal isn't moving. Behind the weld area the metal is trying to contract as it cools. If the whole weld could be heated at once it would expand then contract at the same rate without distortion.
What is laser beam welding used for?
Laser beam welding is generally used for joining together components that require thin seams and minimal distortion. The process is finely directed and offers an excellent quality finish and this is why it is a popular method for making jewellery, cars and computer components.
What is the effect of clamping the workpiece and how can this cause distortion in the finished components?
This can happen when clamps are applied inexpertly and too tightly.
When distortion occurs?
Distortion or deformation can occur during welding as a result of the non-uniform expansion and contraction of the weld and base metal during the heating and cooling cycle.Stresses form in the weld as a result of the changes in volume, particularly if the weld is restrained by the fixed components or other materials surrounding it. If the restraints are partly removed, these stresses can cause the base material to distort and may even result in tears or fractures. Of course, distortion can be very costly to correct, so prevention is important. .here are various types of distortion and dimensional change including longitudinal; transverse; angular; twisting and bowing. Two or more types of distortion may occur at the same time
