Abstract. Post-weld heat-treatment (PWHT) is performed to reduce residual stress, but is not always possible to perform. The residual stresses on a thick section weld on a gas pipeline were determined before and after PWHT to assess residual stress and critical defect sizes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
