Abstract

Changes in welding sequence have high effects on welding distortion and production time. As the effects on cycle time are simply due to the distance travelled by the Heat Source, the influences of
welding sequence on distortion are still not clearly defined. The goal of this paper is to build a model of the entire welding process to get deeper insights on the physics of welding and especially on the influence of welding sequence on distortion. DSM and MDM models are used to map and analyse these correlations.
