Oxy Acetylene Welding

Welding defect Major causes Hydrogen embrittlement Main article: Hydrogen embrittlement Residual stresses Main article: Residual stress The magnitude of stress that can be formed from welding can be roughly calculated using: ET Where E is Young’s modulus, is the coefficient of thermal expansion, and T is the temperature change. For steel this calculates out to [...]
