Numerical modelling of residual stress redistribution induced by TIG-dressing: TIG-dressing numerical modelling

Paolo Ferro, Filippo Berto, Franco Bonollo, Roberto Montanari

TIG-dressing is a technique used to improve the fatigue strength of welded joints by a remelting of the weld toe region that promotes both a smoother transition between the plate and the weld crown and a residual stress redistribution.…
