Causes and Types of Welding Distortion by TheAnh Tran is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. Distortion occurs in welding due to non-uniform heating and cooling which causes thermal expansion and contraction. The main types of distortion are longitudinal shrinkage, transverse shrinkage, angular distortion, bowing, buckling, and twisting. 2. Factors that affect the degree of distortion include material properties, restraint, joint design, fit-up, and welding procedure. Proper design can help minimize distortion through techniques like eliminating welds, placing welds near the neutral axis, and
