Development of tensile residual stress reduction welding in austenitic stainless-steel

Description

A water-shower cooling method (applied immediately after termination of welding) was developed. It was applied to the welding region of a type 316L stainless-steel plate, and it was found to reduce the tensile residual stresses in the weld. FEM analysis and experimental measurements were performed to estimate these residual stresses. The results showed that the preheating and cooling conditions significantly affect the residual-stress distribution and that compressive residual stress could be produced by preheating combined with post-weld water-shower cooling.
