Abstract
In this study, a forensic review of residual stress predictions and its impact on welded joints especially the steel pipes during the Tungsten inert gas welding and metal inert gas welding processes were reviewed. It was established that in the case of MIG welding, the effect of residual stress can be reduced after treatment. In the case of TIG welding process, increase in current will lead to deformation and residual stresses. Estimating the residual stress is a challenging task. It is common to predict residual stress using a notch stress intensity factor, a numerical simulation approach coupled with a thermal-mechanical finite element model. Thus, adequate design in welding parameters will help in the optimization of the process to achieve a safe and reliable welded joint during TIG and MIG welding process.
