RESIDUAL STRESSES AND DISTORTION IN WELDED ALUMINUM STRUCTURES AND THEIR EFFECTS ON SERVICE PERFORMANCE
active, Most Current
| Organization: | WRC |
| Publication Date: | 1 July 1972 |
| Status: | active |
scope:
This interpretive report discusses residual stresses and distortion in welded aluminum structures and their effects on service performance. After a brief introduction, Section 2 discusses thermal stresses during welding, residual stresses and distortion in weldments in aluminum alloys. Computer programs have been developed to calculate heat flow and thermal stresses around the moving arc. A study was made to compare analytical results with experimental data.
