Abstract: | The residual stresses developed during the circumferential butt gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process of Incoloy 800H pipes
were simulated using the finite element method. A decoupled thermostructural model was developed in three dimensions. The
element birth and death technique was used for the addition of filler material in the weld pool. The Goldak double ellipsoidal
model was used to simulate the distribution of arc heat during welding. The plastic behavior of the material was described
by Von Mises yield function and the bilinear kinematics hardening was assumed. To validate the thermostructural model, both
temperature and residual stress distributions within the pipes were measured using thermocouples and strain gages, respectively.
Good agreements were found between the experimental and simulation results. The model was then used to predict distribution
of residual stresses during the GTAW of Incoloy 800H pipes and to study effects of process parameters on the residual stresses. |
