文摘The mechanism and effectiveness of welding distortion mitigation by static thermal tensioning were investigated by both finite element analysis and experiments. It shows that preset thermal tensioning can reduce longitudinal plastic compression remained in the weld and its adjacent zone significantly, so decrease the longitudinal residual stress and the susceptibility to welding distortion.
