Description
Summary:The presented paper deals with the residual stress after a welding operation performed by using the TIG method. It was necessary to determine whether or not tension plays a major role in the distortion of the geometry of a thin-walled pipe, or in other words, whether the drawing dimension of the ovality exceeds the specified tolerance. The result of this simulation will help to determine whether or not designers will have to find another technological solution to complete parts. The assembly consists of three parts: the weld bead, thin-walled pipe, and hoop, which are connected by welds as a final product.
