Low Transformation Temperature Welding Consumables for Residual Stress Management: A Numerical Model for the Prediction of Phase TransformationInduced Compressive Residual Stresses
Harmful tensile residual stresses are observed in structural steel weld joints as a result of the thermal strains between the solidified weld metal and surrounding base material. These harmful stresses, superimposed on …
