Abstract

In manufacturing processes, residual stresses are generated as the base material experiences external forces. In welding, the rapid heating and cooling cycle produces shrinkage forces. These shrinkage forces produce strains and hence stresses up to the yield strength of the material are locked into the base metal. In bending of metal plates, the bent portion is permanently deformed. This deformed portion contains residual stresses. When these bent metal plates having residual stress are welded together, a complex state of residual stress is therefore observed. In the present work, simulation of both the bending and the welding processes is performed through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to study the effect of residual stresses. A sequential simulation procedure is adopted with the results of welding analysis imposed on bending analysis. The base material selected for this study is SS 430. The overall residual stress and distortion are compared between a bent steel angle and an extruded angle welded to the base plate.
