New types of section steel usually are long and with large cross section. Therefore, for the sake of the cost, steel plate welding structure is used home and abroad. During the welding process, welding distortion seems unavoidable. Presently, proper welding machinery, technique and standards are adopted to minimize the distortion. Angular distortion is corrected with oil press and angular distortion corrector, while horizontal distortions like sickle curve and arch are mainly done with flame. Flame correction is of great labor intensity and is also time and material consuming. Besides, the correction is affected by the operators’ skill and mood, which, to some extent, limits the productivity. In this paper, a new technique of section steel distortion correction with high efficiency and adaptability and yet low investment and cost will be proposed for the development of new-type section steel. The correction principles and capability calculation should be done some research on, which will be introduced. The practice done on section steel with a wing edge of 40～60 mm, proves satisfactory: compared with oil-press correction, continual mangling correction saves equipment investment by three quarters, installed capacity by three quarters and investment by three quarters and with a much higher efficiency. Particularly in the distortion correction of heavy welding structures, mangling correction stands out from the crowd. Mangling correction proves to be the best solution to the continual horizontal distortion correction of welding section steel.展开更多
