Abstract: Dissimilar welding between carbon steel and stainless steel is widely used in power plant. A lot of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) have occurred in the weld joint, which are affected greatly by residual stresses. This ...

Abstract: The creep and failure probability of a planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) through a duty cycle is calculated by finite element method (FEM) and Weibull method, respectively. Two sealing methods, namely, rigid seal and ...

Abstract: In this study, for the hardfacing of springloaded pressure relief valve seats, the residual stress distributions after the tungsten inert gas welding, (TIG) postwelded heat treatment and subsequent surface turning were ...

Abstract: Through-thickness distributions of the welding residual stresses were studied in the range of 50–100 mm thick plates by using finite-element modeling (FEM) and neutron diffraction measurements. In order to simulate the ...

Abstract: Welding is often used to repair the defects in pressure vessels and piping, but residual stresses are generated inevitably and have a great effect on structure integrity. According to the defect size, different repair depth ...
