Summary: The present paper discusses the three-dimensional finite element techniques used for predicting the angular distortions in shielded metal arc welded (SMAW) and submerged arc welded (SAW) joints using moving distributed heat sources by taking into account the weld reinforcement geometries of the joints, filler material deposition and temperature dependent material properties.
