Abstract

Stainless steels are widely used for manufacturing important constructions. Because of their properties, welding deformations of stainless steels are larger than those of mild steels. Therefore it is important to foresee forthcoming welding deformations and their extent.
Welding deformations are often calculated using analytical approaches or finite element analysis. In this article the methodologies of Okerblom, Walter, Horst Pflug, Sparagen – Ettinger, Blodgett and finite element analysis, were applied to calculate deformations. The experimental study of deformations was made using austenitic stainless steel X8CrNiTi 18-10. The results of analytic analysis were compared with the results of the experimental analysis.
