Local rolling and other mechanical tensioning techniques can be highly effective at reducing residual stress and distortion in thin plate welds prone to buckling. However, the issues of high capital cost and low scalability ...

The mechanisms of post-weld rolling and how it reduces and eliminates residual stress and distortion are poorly understood. Finite element analysis was applied to two different methods of rolling: rolling the weld bead ...

Residual stress generated during welding can cause distortion, especially when appliedon relatively thin plates. There are several standard and well documented techniquesto reduce distortion and residual stress after ...
