Experimental Study of the Distribution of Temperature Fields in the Butt Contour of a Welded Joint Made of Carbon and High-Alloy Structural Steels

Abstract

A graphic-analytical method for determining temperature fields in the butt contour of a welded joint of a thin-walled tube with a base is presented. The method is based on the experimental data of temperature measurement at the reference points of the structure. The features of the elements of the welded joint made of carbon and high-alloy structural steels and the modes of electric arc welding were taken into account. A graphic-analytical method for determining temperature fields is proposed, which, on the basis of the theory of welding strains and stresses, makes it possible to determine temperature stresses and strains, both in the elements of the joint and in the contour of the weld.
