- DP600 overlap joint (1) (entfernen)
In a previously published model, gas metal arc welding of 1 mm thick DP600 overlap joints is validated for the transient temperature distribution, the welding distortion and longitudinal residual stresses. Tensile tests have been simulated and performed experimentally. Validations were performed for two clamping cases: an immediate release of the clamps after welding and a release of the clamps after cooling to room temperature. There is good agreement between experiments and simulations. It has been found that the temperature distribution, longitudinal stresses and welding distortions are dependent on the clamping conditions. To explain the effect of the clamping time, a bar model is proposed. It is shown that longer clamping times increase plastic deformation and hence reduce residual stresses and buckling distortion. Additionally for an overlap joint, it has been found that the longitudinal residual stresses are affected significantly by the sample's geometry.
