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 ...

This is an example of a nicely stepped and boxed frame. A.Well, the short story is that welding nearly always causes distortion (warping). When you make a weld, you are fusing red-hot metal to the ...

Welding thin sheet metal can be challenging because you need to obtain adequate fusion while preventing distortion and burnthrough. The key skill is to control the heat across the sheet metal to ...

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 ...
