Residual stress generated during welding can cause distortion, especially when applied on relatively thin plates. There are several standard and well documented techniques to reduce distortion and residual stress after welding, however these techniques are often costly and time consuming to implement on an industrial scale. In this paper we demonstrate the preand post-weld rolling techniques for reducing weld distortion. PreWeld Rolling (PWR) can be applied before fabrication, potentially by the steel manufacturer. An experimental investigation indicated that there was an average 38% reduction of distortion with this technique. Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to determine the stress distribution to understand the phenomenon. A number of conditions were analysed, including rolling on the top (weld bead side, Figure 1) and bottom (weld root side) surfaces at different distances from the edge where the material was subsequently welded. Both experimental and numerical results have shown that rolling on the bottom side gives better results in terms of distortion reduction. In addition the likely mechanism is the addition of stresses due to rolling which counteract those induced by welding. Some preliminary experimental results on post-weld rolling show that this is a more effective method for reducing distortion, producing virtually flat plates. This significant finding has the potential to eliminate distortion in welded structures where rolling can be applied.
