Residual Stress In Weld



Residual StressUnhomogenous heating causes local thermal expansion of metals. This is reflected in residual stress after cooling. Residual stress is a tensile stress in the center of a weld. Tensile stress in a weld is compensated by compressive stress in base metal.


squeezingWeld metal is squeezed as it cools. During welding, edges move relative to each other, mostly perpendicular to the welding direction. Residual stress results in shrinkage of the structure.


distortionThe choice of welding sequence affects the distortion of the welded structure. If a welder uses opposite directions, the distortion is smaller.


neutral axis If a weld is below the neutral axis the shape is concave up. If a weld is over the neutral axis the shape is concave down.


weld depth The angle b is small for small weld depths. The angle is not too large if the weld depth is equal to the thickness of the plate.


tee-jointA similar effect can be observed in a tee-joint. For thin plates the displacement caused by residual stress is rather large, it decreases as thickness increases.


 rigid structureResidual stress is at a maximum for a rigid structure with a large number of welds and with closed loops. The structures are shown in order of increasing rigidity.


residual stressThe residual stress decreases as annealing temperature increases. There are annealing procedures that can reduce residual stress to zero.
