Abstract-This paper investigates the induced angular distortions due to single pass welding process on butt joint. The workpiece material is low Carbon steel with the dimension of 100 mm x 150 mm x 4 mm (w x I x t). Two different FE methods were investigated to analyze the distortion, namely based on linear thermo-elastic shrinkage using WELD PLANER Ver. 1.2 and based on thermo-elastic plasti…
Abstract-This paper investigates the capability of linear thermoelastic and thermoelastic plastic numerical analysis methods to estimate the welding deformations that occurred due to GMAW process which nowadays becomes an important manufacturing process in modern industries. As already known, distortion is considered as the major stumbling block that can affect the dimensional accuracy and t…
