An experimental validation of residual stresses in weld clad pipelines

JW Analysis, UK
ABSTRACT: A fatigue-resistant concept of weld cladding process pipelines, producing compressive residual
stresses, is under investigation to examine the nature and distribution of stresses in dissimilar joints. Simplified
weld cladding simulations have successfully illustrated residual stresses present through the joint, highlighting
the importance of accurate thermal and mechanical material data for clad and substrate materials. Experimental
validation, using ICHD, measured ...
