| Abstract: | The new technology of welding with impacting rotation is put forward to decrease the wave-like deformation of the TC4 thin plate weldment.The thermal stress and strain are vital to understand the mechanism of controlling the wave-like deformation.In order to know the development of internal thermal stress and strain,finite element method is utilized for the stress and strain are difficult to be investigated by experimental methods during the welding process.Temperature field,thermal stress evolution and distortion of thin plate are compared with the test results such as weld thermal cycle,residual stress sectioning measurement,and the deflection of the thin plate respectively.By the finite element analysis and test results verification,the mechanism of the technology to control the wave-like deformation is brought forward,non-uniform thermal elastic strain between compressive plastic region and elastic extensive region is diminished by a certain amount of extensive plastic deformation by welding with impacting rotation process. |
