.Residual stressesare stress that remain after the original cause of the stresses (external forces, heat gradient) has been removed. They remain along a cross section of the component, even without the external cause. Residual stresses occur for a variety of reasons, including inelastic deformations and heat treatment. Heat from welding may cause localized expansion, which is taken up during welding by either the molten metal or the placement of parts being welded. When the finished weldment cools, some areas cool and contract more than others, leaving residual stresses
Weld sequence would specify the order in which welds are to be made on a structure to help against distortion and residual stresses.
When you weld something, it'll cool unevenly. This will set up stress points in the matrix that can cause problems like warping and reduction of strength. Stress relieving seeks to correct this.
This is a simple stress relieving process the welder can do to minimize warpage of material that was just welded.
Warpage due to welding can be reduced by implementing proper welding techniques, such as using preheating to minimize thermal stresses and employing multi-pass welding to distribute heat more evenly. Additionally, strategic clamping and fixturing can help maintain alignment during the welding process. Selecting appropriate filler materials and controlling the cooling rate can also mitigate distortions. Finally, post-weld heat treatment may be used to relieve residual stresses that contribute to warpage.
I have experience when my team welded "JIG Ladle" A36 to AISI 4140, we used electrode E7018 with SMAW process. The important thing for this welding's prehating during welding min. 180 degree celcius and did peening the weld beads to minimize residual stresses. After welding covered by blanket for slow cooling. Regards, Asep S (asep93st@yahoo.com)
Residual stress is the stress remains in the part after the part has been cut, formed, or bent
post weld heat treatment is done on the weld areas after welding, to remove the residual stress present in the welded part formed during the welding process, it prevents to cause brittle fracture in a metal
Arc blow in welding can be affected by factors such as magnetic fields present in the workpiece, residual stress in the base material, electrode angle, and current settings. These factors can cause the welding arc to deviate from its intended path, leading to issues with weld quality and integrity. Proper welding techniques and equipment setup can help minimize the effects of arc blow.
Warpage or distortion in welding is typically caused by uneven heating and cooling of the welded material. When the material cools down after the welding process, areas that cool faster may contract at a different rate than others, leading to warping. Additionally, excessive heat input, improper welding technique, or welding on materials with residual stress can also contribute to warpage or distortion.
