Thermal distortion remains one of the most challenging obstacles in precision welding. Heat input creates temperature gradients that drive uneven contraction during cooling, warping assemblies out of ...

Since weld distortion is a very costly problem for U.S. shipyards, the National Shipbuidling Research Program (NSRP) has embarked on a project to reduce weld distortion through innovative Induction ...

Engineers must not only consider design and material requirements, but also should take the actual welding process into account. Part positioning and welding procedures affect weld quality. Designers ...

Overwelding is one of the most widespread problems in shipbuilding, causing significant distortion and associated rework costs in lightweight structural applications. In order to combat this problem, ...
