Many important engineering applications such as nuclear reactors, ships, pipes and pressure vessels are shell-like structures made with weldments. For such a structure, a major problem is the development of residual stress and distortion due to welding. Residual stresses in weldments significantly affect stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen-induced cracking and fatigue strength in welded structures. As-welded components generally have certain amount of residual stresses caused by the application of intense heat or thermal loading at the weld joint, formed due to non-uniform cooling rates at different points in the weld metal and heat affected zones. Presence of residual stresses in a component is detrimental as they may lead to failure below the design stress value and also affect many important properties including the life of a welded component. Welding induced residual stresses can significantly increase the fracture driving force in a weldment and also contribute to brittle fracture. The thermal cycle imposed on any welded object causes thermal expansions and contractions which are not uniform. Quantitative measurement of residual stresses is essential to take remedial measures such as change in the welding technique, optimizing welding parameters (heat input, electrode diameter etc,), change in the weld groove design and post-weld heat treatment for minimizing the residual stresses. Residual stress measurements after post-weld treatment would also ensure the adequacy of stress relief treatment. To have an investigation into these aspects, residual stresses due to Manual Metal Arc Welding and Submerged Arc Welding were measured nondestructively with Ultrasonic technique. Residual stress distribution for Shielded Metal Arc Welding and Submerged Arc Welding were compared and the present studies emphasized, that Shielded Metal Arc Welding gave higher compressive stresses than Submerged Arc Welding. Further, to substantiate the studies, commercial finite element analysis software ANSYS 5.6 was used for modeling of manual metal arc welded joint. The results obtained by ANSYS were compared with those by Ultrasonic method.

Residual Stress And Deformation

Automatic MIG was adopted to weld Inconel 625 alloy on 20 G Membrane Waterwall, which can improve the capacities of high temperature corrosion resistance and wear resistance. To study the influence of Membrane Waterwall surface welding sequences on residual stress and residual deformation, this paper utilized finite element software ABAQUS and segmented moving heat source model to simulate the sequence welding, balanced welding from the middle to sides, balanced welding from sides to the middle, balanced skip welding from middle to sides and balanced skip welding from sides to the middle and studied their residual stresses and deformations. The simulation results indicated that there was a great influence of welding sequences on the residual stress and deformation. The optimal welding sequence was balanced skip welding from middle to sides and balanced skip welding from sides to the middle, which could change the stress distribution, decrease the welding residual stress by 17%, realize the even deformation of the whole welding section and decrease the bending deformation by 50%.

Significant Difference

The effect of welding residual stress on the buckling behavior of storage tanks subjected to the harmonic settlement was simulated using the shell-to-solid coupling method. In the numerical model of tanks coupled with the welding residual stress, the welding joint and its adjacent zone were modeled using the solid submodel and the zone far away from the welding joint was built by the shell submodel. Effects of welding parameters (e.g., welding velocities and welding passes) on the buckling behavior of tanks were analyzed systematically. Results indicate that the buckling strength of tanks is enhanced due to the welding residual stress. Comparatively, a slow welding velocity presents a more remarkable strengthening effect than the fast welding velocity due to a larger axial residual stress produced at the welding joint. Nevertheless, no significant difference between the double-side welding and the one-side welding for buckling strength enhancement is observed for the cases studied. This indicates that the current design method causes a conservative design without considering the welding residual stress.
