ABSTRACT

Parameters of thermal tension with induction heating have a significant influence on mitigation of welding buckling during the fabrication of thin plates. The influence of heating intensity as well as maximal heated temperature, transverse distance d1 between welding torch and induction heating coil, longitudinal distance d2 between welding torch and induction heating coil, diameter of induction heating coil, and number of induction heating coil were all examined by FE computation.
