Welding is an essential process in the fabrication of steel structures, but it can also introduce significant challenges due to welding deformation and residual stress. These phenomena can compromise structural integrity and increase the risk of component failure. However, with the right knowledge and techniques, it is possible to minimize welding deformation and residual stress, ensuring the longevity and safety of welded structures.

Welding deformation occurs when the heat generated during welding causes the metal to expand and contract. This can result in a variety of distortions, including bowing, bending, and twisting. Residual stress is another potential issue, caused by the uneven cooling of the weldment after welding. This stress can contribute to cracking and brittle fracture.

The consequences of welding deformation and residual stress can be severe. In addition to compromising structural integrity, they can also:
