Effect of vibration frequencies on the welding properties of rectangular mild steel plate

The welding process induces potential deflection, which significantly affects the ultimate strength behavior of the welded structure. The deflection can result in many problems that can have an adverse effect of the accuracy of the assemblage part, external appearance or strength characteristics ot...

The applied vibration during welding resulted in an improvement of about 50% for tensile strength and maxmum load of 29076.68 N for the ductility of the filler metal due to the fine distribution of the filler metal by the effect of vibration.

In conclusion, the applied frequency and thermal load at the centre of the plate surface generate plate deflection and resulted in less value of deflection on the transverse direction than the centre. In addition, these forces led to increase in the strain value at the centre of the plate. The applied vibration during welding results in a fine distribution of the filler metal and increased the ductility and the tensile strength of the filler metal.
